SO CAN YOU TELL I LOVE MASHES?

I am also addicted to red bell peppers.

Friday night had only a little time, and a few meager ingredients in the fridge and freezer. I whipped this meal up within 20 minutes and literally closed my eyes with joy after the first forkful; that is how tasty it was.

Keeping a bag of frozen, pre-cooked shrimp in the freezer is always a huge win – so quick to thaw and yummy to eat, great protein source to keep you in line.

I also had a head of cauliflower and my usual assortment of cheeses and butter. I recommend getting a high end salt – seriously, high end salt can make a WORLD Of difference with your meals!!

Low Carb Cauliflower Mash with Shrimp

A basic but delicious Low Carb Cauliflower Mash recipe that is time tested and true
Prep Time10 minutes
Cook Time10 minutes
Total Time20 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 head Cauliflower
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 3.25 Shredded Cheese
  • Maldon Smoked Sea Salt
  • teaspoon Pepper i have a peppermill i got from costco, fresh cracked is the way to go!
  • 2 tablespoons Heavy Whipping Cream

Instructions

  • Chop up the cauliflower (get rid of the stem/leaves) and steam until tender
  • In your handy dandy food processor, add the cauliflower and the rest of the ingredients. If you are like me and have a smaller sized food processor, you may need to do this in batches. Just evenly divide the ingredients and cauliflower. Don't try to overload the food processor with cauliflower - it will not puree evenly! Spoon each batch into a big bowl, and when done, mix it all together so you have an even tasting final product.
  • Make sure to add the cheese, butter, cream, pepper, and salt while the steamed cauliflower is still hot. That way it melts together into a delicious yummy mash. Add additional salt and pepper to taste.

For the shrimp, I literally just thawed them and threw them in a pan with some butter and some creole seasoning. The spicy shrimp went perfectly against the smooth, creamy, cheesy low carb cauliflower mash.

This delicious side is only 4 net carbs per serving and will fill you right up.
