Ingredients:  
Ingredients:  
1 lb. shrimp, peeled and deveined
6 slices bacon, chopped
4 tsp. lemon juice
2 T. chopped Italian parsley
1 c. thinly sliced scallions
2 large garlic cloves, minced

Cheesy Cauliflower "Grits"
1 large head of cauliflower ( I use 32 oz. frozen cauliflower rice)
2 T. heavy cream
1 T. butter
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
2 oz. sharp cheddar cheese
salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Directions:
Clean and trim the cauliflower, breaking it into medium sized pieces. Place in a microwave safe bowl and cook, uncovered, on high 10 minutes. Stir in cream, butter and garlic and continue to cook until largest florets are fork tender (5-10 minutes depending on microwave wattage.)

Use an immersion blend to puree the cauliflower, add cheese and continue to puree. (If you don't have an immersion blender, puree cauliflower in a food processor or blender.) Season with salt and pepper to taste.

Cook bacon in a large skillet until bacon is browned and crisp. Remove bacon. Add the chopped green pepper and sauté until tender. Add shrimp and cook until they turn pink and are opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, then stir in lemon juice, cooked bacon, parsley, and scallions and sauté for another 3 minutes.

Serve shrimp over cheesy cauliflower.

Personal Notes:
When I don't have bacon in the house, I'll heat precooked bacon bits in 1-2 T. olive oil in the skillet to season the oil with the essence of bacon. I've also substituted shallots or onion for the scallions, sautéing them with the green pepper.
