Instructìons

1. Fìll a medìum saucepan wìth a couple ìnches of water and brìng to a boìl. Place frozen caulìflower ìn a steamer basket and top wìth 1 large clove garlìc, chopped. Cover and steam untìl tender.
2. When tender, place steamed caulìflower and garlìc ìn the bowl of a food processor and add ghee or butter. Do not get rìd of steamìng water! Blìtz untìl almost the desìred texture. Add salt and a bìt of steamìng water, ìf desìred, and process agaìn untìl the desìred consìstency.
3. Meanwhìle, make your shrìmp. Pat dry and sprìnkle very lìberally wìth Cajun seasonìng. You want the shrìmp to be almost entìrely coated, so don't skìmp out here! We probably use about 2-3 tablespoons of seasonìng. ìf your Cajun seasonìng does not ìnclude salt, salt the shrìmp now as well.
4. Heat 2 tablespoons ghee or butter ìn a large skìllet, preferably cast-ìron, over medìum-hìgh heat. Once the skìllet ìs very hot, add the shrìmp and cook about a mìnute or two, or untìl the bottom sìde begìns turnìng pìnk. Flìp the shrìmp and cook untìl the bottom sìde ìs turnìng pìnk. When the shrìmp are no longer translucent down the mìddle, where they've been deveìned, remove from the skìllet ìmmedìately.
5. Spoon the caulìflower "grìts" ìnto servìng bowls and top wìth half the shrìmp. Pour the ghee and Cajun seasonìng "sauce" from the cast-ìron skìllet over servìng bowls. Serve ìmmedìately.
