Shrimp and "Grits"

 Shrimp and "Grits"

Ingredients:

• 1 bag raw frozen shrimp deveined, tail off
• 3 strips of bacon
• 3 green onions
• 1 cup diced onion ( I used frozen and it got too juicy)
• 1 tsp chili powder
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp onion powder
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 bag frozen cauliflower
• 2 tbsp butter
• 1 tbsp mayonnaise
• handful of shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Method:

1. Place bag of frozen cauliflower in the microwave and cook and directed.
2. Dice onions (or use frozen) and bacon, fry until almost cooked. (I used kitchen shears to cut bacon up straight into the pan).
3. Once almost fully cooked, add the shrimp and seasonings and 1 of the diced green onions.
4. While shrimp is finishing cooking, take the cooked cauliflower out of the microwave and pour into a mixing bowl with 2 tbsp of butter. Use a hand held blender to blend the cauliflower to resemble mashed potatoes. Once it is to the desired consistency, spoon in the mayo and stir. Then add the cheese.
5. Once combined, divide into 2 bowls then top with the shrimp mixture.
6. Cut the remaining 2 green onions on top and serve immediately

Notes:

This dish serves 2 people. You can use a tablespoon of Cajun spice instead of the listed spices. That is just what I had on hand. You can also spice is up a little more with some cayenne pepper.
