Because fried rice needed a makeover!
Shrimp Fried Bulgur
Bulgur is the faster, lighter, and more nutrient-packed option compared to brown rice. It cooks in just 10-12 minutes (while brown rice takes 40+), is lower in calories, and has a softer, fluffier texture with a nutty flavor. Packed with B vitamins (like niacin, B6, and folate), fiber, and protein, bulgur offers more nutrients and a lower glycemic index than brown rice. It’s a quick, healthy swap that works in everything from stir-fries to salads—perfect for anyone looking to shake up their grain game!
