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!!

How to Make Poor Man's "Shrimp" Cocktail
- Combine crab boil, salt, onions, garlic and 6 quarts of water in a large pot. Squeeze juice from lemons into pot and add lemon halves. Set pot over high heat and bring to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes to let flavors meld.
- With a slotted spoon remove onions, garlic and lemons from broth and discard.
- Return liquid to a boil.
- Add cauliflower; turn off heat and let stand until cauliflower is crisp tender about 5-10 minutes.
- Drain; spread out cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool completely. Chill or serve at room temp. We liked it best chilled.
