Cauliflower vegetable porridge with shrimp fried in garlic sauce topcook.tomathouse.com
Ingredients:
- 1 large head of cauliflower (about 1 kg), trimmed and broken into small florets
- 1 cup of milk with 1% fat content
- 3 tbsp (45 g) butter
- 1/3 tbsp. grated parmesan
- 0.6 kg medium shrimp with tails, peeled, deveined
- 2 large cloves garlic, minced
- A pinch of cayenne pepper (optional)
- 2 tbsp. l. coarsely chopped parsley
- Juice of half a lemon + lemon wedges for serving
Preparation:
- In a food processor, pulse about half the cauliflower florets until they are the size of a grain of rice (it's okay if they're a bit lumpy). Transfer to a medium saucepan, chop the remaining cauliflower, and add it to the same saucepan. Add the milk, 1 tablespoon (15 g) butter, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of black pepper and bring to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Simmer, stirring frequently, until the mixture is soft, smooth, and porridge-like, about 10 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in the Parmesan, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Cover and keep warm.
- Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons (30 g) butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, garlic, and cayenne pepper, if using. Cook, stirring, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 3-4 minutes. Remove from heat, add the parsley, lemon juice, and 1 tablespoon water, and stir to coat the shrimp.
- Divide the cauliflower porridge among bowls. Top with shrimp and sauce. Serve with lemon wedges. You can make this cauliflower porridge with added kale, and make it less caloric.
