My February Bon Appetit magazine came last week and I saw this recipe on the RSVP page. Chef Kevin Roberts turns cauliflower into a recipe that really tastes like shrimp after giving it a hot bath in geniusly seasoned water and a dunk in some cocktail sauce. It was hard to believe it could possibly come close. Give it a try and see what you think. A great treat for your vegan or allergic guests for Superbowl!!
