Scale
Ingredients
For The Grits
- 1 head cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 2 garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon marjoram
- 1 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 teaspoon coconut aminos
- 1 cup bone broth (I recommend fish bone)
For The Shrimp
- 1 large onion
- 3 slices uncured, nightshade free bacon
- 1lb peeled, clean, wild caught shrimp
Spice Mix
- 1 tsp salt
- 2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp ground ginger
- 1 tsp rosemary
- 1 tsp sage
- 1 tsp oregano
- 2 tsp turmeric
Instructions
- Start by ricing your cauliflower (remove greens and shred with a cheese grater or food processor), and mincing your garlic.
- Heat coconut oil in a medium-sized pot. Add in garlic & cauliflower, coconut aminos, marjoram, 1 tsp black pepper and bay leaves.
- Stir constantly for 2 minutes. Pour in broth. Stir well and cover. Bring to a boil, then lower heat to medium & cover. Let it simmer until the liquid is reduced by half.
- In the meantime, cook bacon in a large skillet, I like mine crispy, I cook it in cast iron, on medium high about 2 minutes each side. Remove bacon from skillet and lower heat to medium.
- Slice onion in ¼ inch slices and add into skillet.
- Lower heat again, to medium-low. Stir the onions occasionally. After about 8 minutes, they should be tender and sweet. Bring heat back up to medium-high and throw in shrimp with the spice mix.
- Stir frequently until the shrimp are pink and coiled. Remove from heat. Chop bacon into small pieces.
- You can also use parsley, cilantro or chives to garnish. Serve cauli-grits in a bowl, top with a heaping portion of onion & shrimp. Lemon or lime on the side. Sprinkle with bacon & herbs. Enjoy!
