Cajun Shrimp and Mashed Cauliflower
"I used mashed cauliflower instead of mashed potato or grits to accompany the shrimp in order to lower the glycemic index. If you don’t have Cajun seasoning or cannot find gluten-free Cajun seasoning, you can just use some paprika, cayenne pepper and black pepper. You can also use taco seasoning instead.

This was like shrimp and grits but without the grits and honestly, the cauliflower mash was spot on. Super delicious and the shrimp were perfect. A great meal for two! -
How much milk in cup measurements is 50 ml? -
this was amazing. I had zero expectations because I had failed at my last cauliflower recipe but this blew my mind. I did add more Cajun seasoning because I am a spice freak. I was literally saying "yum" after each bite.
