How to Make Shrimp Bulgur Salad With Avocado Relish And Chipotle Dressing

**Chipotle Dressing:**
Combine chipotle peppers, adobo sauce, lime juice, vinegar, garlic, cumin, sugar, and salt in a blender.
Blend on high speed until smooth.
With the blender running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil until emulsified.
Transfer to the top of a double boiler over simmering water and keep warm for 2 hours.
**Bulgur Salad:**
Combine bulgur and water in a medium bowl. Let stand for 30 minutes, or until bulgur is tender.
Drain any excess water.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked bulgur with about 1/2 cup of the warm chipotle dressing. Add the shrimp (except for 8 reserved shrimp). Toss gently.
Refrigerate until ready to serve.
**Avocado Relish:**
In a medium bowl, gently combine diced avocados, red onion, cilantro, and lime juice.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Cover and refrigerate until serving time.
**Assembly:**
Pack the shrimp bulgur mixture into 4 individual ramekins or rice molds.
Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
Unmold the shrimp bulgur mixture onto serving plates.
Arrange 1/4 of the avocado relish around each bulgur mound, forming a ring.
Drizzle the remaining chipotle dressing around the relish.
Garnish each salad with two half-circles of green pepper and two reserved shrimp.
