We love millet for its health benefits and light texture. The gluten-free ancient seed is rich in iron, magnesium, calcium and vitamin B.

We channeled the herby flavors of tabbouleh by tossing fluffy millet with mint and parsley and a lemony dressing. Meanwhile, shrimp seasoned with salt and pepper roasts in the oven until juicy and tender. Cook, relax, and enjoy!

What you’ll need: 1 cup millet
3 oz scallions
fresh parsley
fresh mint
6 oz radishes, no tops
1 lb medium shrimp, tail on
3 lemons
coarse salt
olive oil
freshly ground black pepper

Equipment: small saucepan
rimmed baking sheet

Recipe steps: 1. Cook millet
Preheat oven to 400°F. Combine millet and 2 cups water with a pinch salt in a small saucepan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to simmer and cover. Cook until water is absorbed and millet is tender, 15–20 minutes.

  1. Prep ingredients
    Meanwhile, trim and thinly slice scallions. Pick parsley and mint leaves from stems. Reserve a few leaves of each herb for garnish and finely chop the rest. Thinly slice radishes.

  2. Roast shrimp
    Toss shrimp with 2 tablespoons oil, 1 teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon pepper on a rimmed baking sheet. Roast shrimp until opaque and just cooked through, 10 minutes.

  3. Make dressing
    Halve 2 of the lemons and juice into a large bowl. Whisk in ⅓ cup olive oil and season with salt and pepper.

  4. Finish tabbouleh
    Transfer cooked millet to bowl with dressing and add scallions, mint, parsley, and radishes and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  5. Serve
    Cut remaining lemon into wedges. Serve millet tabbouleh topped with shrimp and reserved herbs with lemon wedges alongside. Enjoy!
