Preparation
Cook the bulgur
In a medium pot, combine the bulgur, 1 ½ cups water, ½ the spices and a big pinch of salt; bring to a boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer, 6 to 8 min., until the bulgur is tender and the water has been absorbed. Add 2 tbsp butter. Fluff and keep warm.
Sauté the sweet peppers
Meanwhile, halve, core and medium-dice the sweet peppers. In a large, high-sided pan, heat a drizzle of oil on medium-high. Add the sweet peppers and sauté, 2 to 3 min., until beginning to soften; season with S&P.
Cook the shrimp
Meanwhile, pat the shrimp dry with paper towel (remove the shells from the tails if desired); season with the remaining spices and S&P. To the pan of sweet peppers, add the shrimp*, garlic and tomato paste. Cook, stirring frequently, 2 to 4 min., until opaque and cooked through.
Make the sauce & coat the shrimp
To the pan of sweet peppers and shrimp, add the spinach, demi-glace, ¼ cup water and S&P. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 min., until the spinach has wilted.
Plate your dish
Divide the bulgur between your plates. Top with the shrimp and sauce. Bon appétit!
