Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Prepare the 'Grits': In a food processor, pulse the cauliflower florets until they resemble coarse crumbs, resembling the texture of traditional grits.

  2. Cook the 'Grits': In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of ghee or olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until fragrant, about 2-3 minutes.

  3. Add the Cauliflower: Add the riced cauliflower to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cauliflower becomes tender and slightly golden. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Prepare the Shrimp: In a separate skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon of ghee or olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.

  5. Cook the Shrimp: Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the skillet with the bell pepper. Sprinkle Old Bay seasoning over the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.

  6. Combine and Serve: Pour the coconut milk over the shrimp in the pan and let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper if needed.

  7. Assemble the Dish: To serve, spoon the cauliflower 'grits' into bowls and top with the seasoned shrimp in coconut milk. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.
