Shrimp n "Grits"

I know what you are thinking. How can you eat grits while eating paleo? Aren't grits corn and isn't corn technically a grain so it is therefore not paleo? You are right! Grits are not paleo, but cauliflower is! Using cauliflower, you can make a great grits substitute!


To make cauliflower grits you will need just the florets of 1 head of fresh, raw cauliflower and a food processor. First process the cauliflower in the food processor using the grater attachment. Then process it in the food processor angain using the blade attachment until it resembles grits. Fill a medium sauce pan with about 1/2 inch of water. Add the "grits" cover and bring to a boil until they soften a little and warm through. Add 1 -2 TBS butter to create a creamier grits and season with salt and pepper, if desired.
