  • In a small-medium sauce pan add the bulgur, broth, dried herbs, juice of ½ of the lemon and a bit of the lemon zest (save some for garnish). Bring to a boil and then cover and reduce to a simmer for 12-15 minutes until the liquid is absorbed.

  • Add to the skillet and sprinkle with a bit of salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes tossing to prevent sticking. Add the cooked shrimp and squeeze the juice of the other half of lemon on top. Toss a few times just to heat the shrimp a bit. Add the bulgar and mix everything together in the skillet.
