Curry Shrimp with Bulgur Wheat

2 Curry Shrimp with Bulgur Wheat

Feb 03

This dish came from a craving I had one night and I thought “what am I looking for, I want something low carb, huge flavor with some texture of rice but without the heavy carb that come with rice. I experimented and this is the recipe I came up with. This one is so easy and great at room temp so good for parties or those extended late night drinking sessions……let’s go!

Servings

4 servings

Ingredients

One cup prepared bulgur wheat
24 Fresh cleaned medium shrimp
Fresh limes
Fresh mint
Long 8 inch wooden skewer

Shrimp Marinade:

Tablespoon madras curry powder
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
Pinch of cumin
Juice of one lime
1/3 cup olive oil. Blend together and pour over shrimp for an hour or overnight

Directions

Shrimp marinade -- Blend together and pour over shrimp for an hour or overnight.

Heat your grill as hot as you can get it, now grill the shrimp on the first side noting that there will be some flare ups which is fine as long as the shrimp don’t catch fire. Grill for 90 seconds first side, now turn over and finish one min on other side.

Now on a long plate put a nice path of the bulgur wheat down as seen in my photo. Now take the shrimp and put them on the skewer as I’ve done in the photo and lay against the bulgur wheat.

Add some chopped mint and some fresh lime and go to town!! To eat, push the shrimp into the bulgur wheat it will stick to it and give it a really nice texture and flavor.

*NOTE:

Make a lot of these.. make mounds of them as you won’t believe how great it makes a shrimp taste!
