For Shrimp

  • 2 pounds raw, peeled shrimp
  • 1 tbsp paleo powder- homemade
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp fish sauce- homemade (made my own with 1 tbsp soy sauce & 1/2 tbsp rice vinegar)

Homemade paleo powder (this makes more than this recipe calls for)

  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp chili powder
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp cumin
  • 1/8 tsp cayenne

Instructions
 

  • Separate and cook cauliflower in water until very tender, then drain water.
  • Add hot, drained cauliflower back into pot and immediately add butter, cream cheese, cheddar cheese, parmesan, garlic, cayenne and salt. Mix with electric mixer until smooth.

For the Shrimp

  • In a large skillet, add olive oil and butter, melt over medium heat.
  • Add fish sauce and 1 tablespoon Paleo Powder Blend and mix to incorporate in the oil/butter.
  • Add shrimp to skillet, tossing to coat in herbed butter mixture. Cook shrimp until no longer opaque or they have just turned pink, but no longer or your shrimp will be tough. Add salt to taste at this point.
