Ingredients

Mashed Cauliflower

4 cups (1 litre) cauliflower, cut into florets
1/2 onion, finely chopped  
2 cups (500 ml) milk
2 tablespoons (30 ml) butter
Salt and pepper

Shrimp

1/4 cup (60 ml) finely chopped onion
1/3 cup (75 ml) butter
1 clove garlic, finely chopped  
1 slice fresh ginger, about 1/4-inch (1/2-cm) thick
1/2 cup (125 ml) apple cider
3/4 lb (350 g) large shrimp (about 18)
1/2 oz (15 g) white chocolate, chopped

Preparation

Mashed Cauliflower

In a large pot, bring the cauliflower, onion, and milk to a boil. Cover and simmer for about 15 minutes. Drain well.
In a food processor, purée the cauliflower with the butter until smooth. Season with salt and pepper. Keep warm.

Shrimp

In a large non-stick skillet, soften the onion in 15 ml (1 tablespoon) of butter. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 1 minute. Deglaze with the cider and bring to boil. Add the shrimp and cook, covered, for about 2 minutes or until the shrimp are cooked. With tongs, remove the shrimp from the skillet and keep warm on a plate.
In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and chocolate and reduce until the sauce is slightly syrupy, about 1 minute. Adjust the seasoning. Serve with the mashed cauliflower. Serve the shrimp on the mashed cauliflower and top with the white chocolate sauce.
