Baked Cauliflower & Confetti Shrimp

>
>
Normally, one would assume that the shrimps in this dish would be the star while the cauliflower plays the second fiddle, but here we have the roles reversed.
This cauliflower was so yummy that it absolutely stole the show from the shrimps, which were very delicious as well, but……
Lately I have again used a bit too much sugar and starch in my nutrition by consuming way too much bread, rice, pasta, potatoes and sugar.
Thankfully, I have not gained any weight since I lost 30 lbs a year ago, but recently, my sugar levels have increased by an average of 20 points, so in order to get my levels back down and avoid insulin-injections twice a day like I used to, I have started again to make leafy salads, fruits and vegetables the main part of my meals, with much smaller (if any) starchy and sugary sidings and just a tiny amount of bread once in a while. Wow – that was a long sentence 🙂

: meanwhile for the shrimp, melt a generous amount of butter (this will serve as a “sauce” for the inside of the cauliflower)

: saute peeled & deveined shrimp with garlic paste, diced peppers, kosher salt and cayenne peppers

: wait for it………

: slice the cauliflower into thick slices, top with the shrimp and lots of butter
