Shrimp Sayadiyeh Freekeh Bowl

Ingredients

• 200 g shrimp, grilled
• 160 g cooked freekeh
• 100 g mixed vegetables
• 5 g herbs, spices and lemon

Method

1. Peel and devein the 200 g shrimp. Season with cumin, a pinch of turmeric, garlic and lemon.
2. Rinse about 55 g dry freekeh and simmer in three times its volume of water for 20–25 minutes until tender. Drain — this gives about 160 g cooked.
3. Grill or pan-sear over high heat for about 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque.
4. Steam or sauté the 100 g mixed vegetables for 3–4 minutes, or serve them raw if they're salad vegetables.
5. Build the plate: the cooked freekeh first, the Shrimp Sayadiyeh on top and the vegetables alongside. Finish with the remaining herbs and a squeeze of lemon.
