Cooking Steps

Cook bulgur
1
  • Before starting, preheat the broiler to high.
  • Wash and dry all produce.
  • To a medium pot, add 3/4 cup (1 1/2 cups) water and 1/8 tsp (1/4 tsp) salt. Cover and bring to a boil over high.
  • Once boiling, add bulgur. Cover, remove from heat and let stand for 15-16 min, until bulgur is tender and liquid is absorbed. 
Prep and broil veggies
2
  • Meanwhile, halve zucchini lengthwise, then cut into 1/2-inch half-moons.
  • Cut tomato into 1/4-inch pieces.
  • Zest, then juice half the lemon. Cut remaining lemon into wedges.
  • Roughly chop spinach.
  • Peel, then mince or grate garlic.
Broil zucchini
3
  • To a foil-lined baking sheet, add zucchini, half the Mediterranean Spice Blend and 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) olive oil. Toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Broil in the middle of the oven for 7-10 min, until tender-crisp.
Cook shrimp
4
  • Drain and rinse shrimp, then pat dry with paper towels. Sprinkle remaining Mediterranean Spice Blend over top of shrimp. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a large non-stick pan, heat 1/2 tbsp (1 tbsp) olive oil over medium-high.
  • When the pan is hot, add shrimp, half the almonds and garlic. Cook for 2-3 min, stirring often, until shrimp just turn pink.**
Flavour bulgur
5
  • Meanwhile, in a small bowl, whisk together lemon zest, lemon juice and 1/2 tsp (1 tsp) sugar. Season with salt.
  • Fluff bulgur with a fork, then stir in lemon zest mixture, spinach and remaining almonds.
Finish and serve
6
  • Divide bulgur between bowls. Top with tomatoes, zucchini and shrimp.
  • Drizzle pesto over top.
  • Squeeze a lemon wedge over top.
