Instructions

    Grits

  1. Using a food processor or a hand-held grater, rice the cauliflower. Aim for a fine, couscous-like consistency.

  2. In a large saucepan, bring the chicken stock to a boil. Add the cauliflower, cover with a lid, and cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes.

  3. Remove the lid, add the butter, salt, and pepper and cook for 10 more minutes, until the broth has reduced and the cauliflower is tender.

  4. Add the cheese and cream and stir to combine, keep stirring until the cauliflower grits are at your desired consistency. Keep warm until serving.

  5. Bacon and shrimp

  6. Rinse, drain and pat dry the shrimp, add them to a large bowl. Season with the cajun seasoning, salt, and black pepper and set aside. If the seasoning contains salt already, you can reduce or omit it.

  7. Chop the bacon and fry it in a pan over medium-high heat until crispy, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

  8. Add the shrimp to the same pan that you cooked the bacon in. Make sure you do NOT remove any of the bacon fat from the pan.

  9. About 2 minutes after adding the shrimp, add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes.

  10. Next, add the butter to the frying pan and cook for another minute more until the shrimp is cooked all the way through.

  11. Turn off the heat and add in the lemon juice and give it a final stir.

  12. Serve the shrimp and bacon bits over the keto grits and garnish with chives or the green part of a spring onion.

    Step 9 in the instructions called for the addition of butter and *parsley*. However, there’s no mention of parsley in the list of ingredients. Please update your instructions.

    I cannot believe this is low carb! I can always taste the cauliflower when it’s used to replace something-not this time. And I am not a huge fan of seafood, but the shrimp is delicious!
