Directions:
For Cauliflower Grits:
Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
Cut cauliflower into small pieces.
Coat in oil and about ½ teaspoon salt.
Cook cauliflower in oven for 30 minutes. Cauliflower should be golden brown.
While cauliflower is still warm, run it through a blender with 1 cup of chicken broth - don’t take it too far to keep the gritty texture.
Transfer the cauliflower to a sauce pot.
Add ¼ cup butter.
Add ½ cup cheddar cheese. If too dry, add some heavy cream or more chicken broth.
Salt and pepper to taste.
For Shrimp:
Get a pan hot over medium heat. Add oil.
Add shrimp. Cook on each side for 3-4 minutes.
Add butter. Add smoked paprika.
Slice green onions for garnish.
