Cajun Shrimp And Mashed Cauliflower Food

SHRIMP AND CAULIFLOWER "GRITS"

Steps:

• Pulse about half of the cauliflower in a food processor until the florets break down into finer pieces about the size of grains of rice (it's totally fine if they clump; think of this step as cauliflower "rice" gone wrong). Transfer to a medium saucepan, pulse the remaining cauliflower and add that to the pan too. Add the milk, 1 tablespoon of the butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt and several grinds of pepper and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture is soft and smooth and looks like grits, about 10 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the Parmesan and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if you'd like. Cover and keep warm.
• Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, garlic and cayenne if using and cook, tossing, until the shrimp are pink and just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from the heat, add the parsley, lemon juice and 1 tablespoon water and stir to coat the shrimp with the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
• Divide the cauliflower grits among shallow bowls and top with the shrimp and sauce. Serve with lemon wedges.

SPICY CAJUN SHRIMP OVER A CAULIFLOWER MASH

Steps:

• In a bowl, season shrimp with chili powder, cayenne, pepper, and salt to taste. You can adjust the amount of cayenne depending on how spicy you want this dish to be! In your food processor, add cauliflower broken into florets, along with your minced garlic and onion. Season with salt and pepper. Pulse this mixture until all the cauliflower look like little beads of rice. Add this mixture to a medium sauce pan over medium heat with 1 tbsp of olive oil and sautee for 15-20 minutes or until mixture is completely tender. Keep a close eye on this as you do not want this to brown, the dish will look much better if your mash remains white! Add in the cup of milk and reduce to low heat. Allow to simmer and reduce to a thick consistency while we cook our shrimp. In a cast iron pan over high heat, add 1 tbsp olive oil and shrimp to pan. It is important for the pan to be smoking hot so we can get a little char on the shrimp without over cooking them. Cook for 1-2 minutes and then flip and cook for 1-2 more minutes. Remove your cauliflower mash from the heat and stir in your Monterey jack cheese. This will help give the mash a more potato like consistency. Serve your shrimp over the top of the mash. I suggest serving this with collard greens for a truly southern feel but any veggie would do!

LEMON GARLIC SHRIMP OVER CAULIFLOWER MASH RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• First, mix up the marinade ingredients for the shrimp. Put the shrimp and the marinade in a resealable bag, mix it up well so all the shrimp have some marinade on them, and refrigerate for 1-4 hours. Preheat an oven to 400F. Place the cauliflower and garlic in a shallow roasting pan. Toss with enough olive oil to coat the pan and the vegetables. Season lightly with salt and pepper. Cover loosely with foil, and roast for 15 minutes. Remove foil, and shake to mix up the vegetables for more even browning. Roast uncovered for 15-20 minutes, or until cauliflower and garlic are soft and lightly browned. Remove from oven. Using a food processor, puree the cauliflower with a couple tablespoons of butter (or more). Add the Parmesan cheese and mix well. You want to end up with the cauliflower having the consistency of mashed potatoes or grits (fairly thick, not runny). If needed, add a drizzle of cream or broth if the cauliflower is too dense. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper. Place in a heat-proof bowl and keep warm. In a large saute pan or Dutch oven, cook the bacon until crisp. Set aside on paper towels until cool, then chop into small pieces. Set aside. Add two tablespoons of butter to the bacon drippings in the pan, and heat until melted over medium high heat. Add the onion and cook until softened. Add the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, and oregano, and saute for about a minute, stirring frequently. Stir in wine. Cook until liquid is reduced by half (will only take a few minutes), then add the shrimp. Cook, stirring frequently to turn the shrimp, until shrimp are pink and opaque on both sides. This should only take 3 or 4 minutes; do not overcook the shrimp or they will be rubbery! Stir in the lemon juice and remove from heat. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve the shrimp and sauce over the mashed cauliflower. Garnish with chopped bacon and fresh oregano.
