Cajun Shrimp and Mashed Cauliflower

For those that do not like cauliflower, please know that once it has been boiled, and the seasonings/milk/parmesan cheese has been added, the actual cauliflower 'flavor' is much less noticeable.

Ingredients

• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 cauliflower, cut into small florets
• 1/4 cup milk
• 2 tablespoons parmesan cheese
• ¹⁄₄ teaspoon salt
• ¹⁄₂ tablespoon olive oil
• ¹⁄₄ large onion, chopped
• 1 garlic clove, chopped
• 10 large shrimp, shelled and deveined
• 1 teaspoon cajun seasoning
• 2 tablespoons parsley, chopped
• black pepper

Directions 

1. Fill a medium-sized pot with water and bring to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt, and all of the cauliflower. Boil until the cauliflower is very soft.

2. Drain cauliflower, making sure all of the water is removed. Place in a large bowl. Add in milk, parmesan cheese and 1/4 teaspoon of salt. Using a hand mixer, beat until the cauliflower is the consistency of mashed potatoes.

3. In a medium-sized skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add in the onion and saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add in garlic and saute for an additional minute.

4. Add in shrimp and cajun seasoning, and cook until done. Shrimp is done when it has turned pink.

5. Scoop cauliflower onto a plate and top with shrimp. Sprinkle with parsley and pepper.
