Method
Stir the bulgur, water, ½ cup lemon juice, and 1/3 cup olive oil together in a large bowl. Let it stand about 2 hours until the bulgur is tender and most of the liquid is absorbed.
Meanwhile, whisk together the remaining lemon juice, olive oil, 3 tablespoons mint, and ½ teaspoon salt in a medium-sized bowl.
Mix in the shrimp.
Marinate for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Drain off any excess liquid from the bulgur.
Blend in tomato, arugula, feta, green onion, garlic, remaining 3 tablespoon mint, and 1 ½ teaspoon salt. Season the salad with pepper to taste.
Mound the salad in large shallow bowls or individual plates. Place the shrimp on top, the dressing over it, and serve.
