Directions
Place the bulgur in a bowl and cover with boiling water (just enough to cover it).

Fluff with a fork to separate the grains.
In a large bowl, mix parsley, mint, cucumber, bell pepper, carrots, pomegranate seeds, pistachios, and avocado.
Add the cooked shrimp and fluffed bulgur.

Drizzle over the salad and toss gently.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
