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 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.
