Za'atar Shrimp and Cauliflower
with tabouli, spiced yogurt and pita
Roasting cauliflower and shrimp on one pan with staggered cooking times minimizes dishes and insures both are cooked to perfection. Za'atar spice and a fresh tabouli salad lend herby citrus flavors while a spiced yogurt sauce brings it all together!

I didn't find za'atar in my grocery store, so I mixed together some herbs based on online substitution suggestions. Really enjoyed the cauliflower!
0 HelpfulI did a cucumber tomato salad instead of the tabouleh and put everything into the pita and ate like a sandwich. Highly recommend that!
0 HelpfulToo much parsley in the salad - and it ended up making my mouth itchy?? Next time might cut back on parsley and add in quinoa. Everything else turned out ok.
0 HelpfulThe tabouli was great, loved the feta cheese in it, and will make it again. However the rest was just okay, the Zatar seasoning just wasn't very impressive.
0 HelpfulGreat flavors. Next time would try subbing chicken or lamb for shrimp and normal salad for parsley.
0 HelpfulThis was so good! I loved the roasted chick peas. I was confused at first because I thought tabuleh included bulger. But I loved it once I fugured it out. Kids were not fans.
