Keto Shrimp n' "Grits" (Cauliflower)

Shrimp n' Grits is a southern comfort classic! It can be served for breakfast, brunch, or even dinner! 

Cauliflower is such a flexible veggie, taking on the components of whatever flavors you add to it. Because of it's gritty texture, it works perfectly in this dish!

Requiring only minimum prepwork and ingredients that you more than likely already have on hand, this cheesy favorite is one for the books!

Don't have fresh garlic? Garlic powder will do just fine! Don't have green onion? Regular onion will work! No heavy cream? A splash of milk will do! Don't have shrimp? Try some grilled or roasted chicken! Mmmm steak sounds good too! 😋 Make this dish your own! Do not over complicate it!

Double or even tripple this recipe if you are cooking for more than just yourself.
