How to cook deliciously - Pesto Shrimp Skewers with Cauliflower Mash

1. Stage

Fill an 8-quart pot with cool water and cauliflower florets. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Season with salt and simmer until tender, 16 to 18 minutes. (Smaller florets will speed up this step.)

2. Stage

Drain cauliflower in a colander and transfer back to pot over medium heat. Add garlic, white wine, and 1 cup water, then season with salt. Stir and cover pot, then simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and add cream, then smash with a potato masher until smooth. Fold in Parmesan and butter just before serving.

3. Stage

Preheat grill or grill pan on medium-high. Thread shrimp onto skewers. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill shrimp until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.

4. Stage

Serve shrimp skewers over a bed of cauliflower mash. Drizzle pesto over shrimp and garnish with fresh basil.
