Hot Cauliflower With Shrimp Recipes

SHRIMP AND CAULIFLOWER BAKE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. In a large bowl toss together cauliflower, onion, oil, crushed red pepper and salt. Spread the mixture in a shallow metal roasting pan. Bake 25 minutes or just until the cauliflower is tender.
• Meanwhile, rinse shrimp; pat dry. In a medium bowl combine shrimp, tomatoes, garlic and lemon zest. Pour shrimp mixture over cauliflower mixture. Bake 15 minutes more or until shrimp are opaque.
• Combine cheese and dill; sprinkle over shrimp mixture. If desired, serve with lemon wedges.

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.

• **** Cook's notes:.
• Rapid cooking time of cauliflower not only reduces the odor but also preserves crispness, color, and reduces the loss of nutrients that will leach into the cooking water when overcooked.
• To microwave cauliflower, cover a whole head of cauliflower with plastic wrap & microwave on high for 3 minutes, turn head over, and cook for an additional 2 to 4 minutes. Let stand for 3 minutes.
• To steam cauliflower, place it in a steamer basket, and then place in a pot with 2 inches of water. Cover and steam. A whole head of cauliflower (1 ½ pounds) will take 15 to 20 minutes to cook, but begin checking for tenderness after 12 minutes.
