INGREDIENTS
5 ounces Shrimp, peeled & deveined
200 grams Cauliflower florets
1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
1/4 cup Shredded cheddar cheese
2 Garlic cloves
1/4 cup Unsweetened almond milk
1/2 teaspoon Smoked paprika
1/4 teaspoon Red pepper flakes
Salt & pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Begin by steaming or boiling the cauliflower florets until tender, about 6-8 minutes.
Meanwhile, season the shrimp lightly with salt, pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes.
In a skillet, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Transfer the steamed cauliflower to a blender. Add the unsweetened almond milk and blend until smooth and creamy.
Return the creamy cauliflower mixture to the skillet over low heat. Stir in the shredded cheddar cheese until melted and incorporated.
Season the grits with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Plate a serving of the creamy cauliflower grits and top with the spicy garlic shrimp.
Garnish with a light sprinkle of smoked paprika or red pepper flakes for extra kick, if desired. Serve warm.
