-
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 medium white onion, diced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon (vegan) butter
- 10oz raw cauliflower florets
- 1 1/2 cups unsweetened almond milk
- 1 1/2 cups reduced fat parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 tablespoon The Fit Cook Land seasoning (OR Italian seasoning)

-
- 1 1/2 lb jumbo shrimp, raw (peeled and deveined)

Steps
- Cook pasta according to the instructions given, then set aside.
- Set oven to 400F/204C.
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper, then add the cauliflower florets. Roast in the oven – without any oil or seasoning – for 15 to 20 minutes, or until lightly charred and soft.
- Set a nonstick skillet on medium heat, once hot add the oil and the onion and garlic. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes or until the onions have turned brown and translucent. After about 4 minutes, add a tablespoon of butter and continue to caramelize the onions and garlic. Remove from the heat.
- To a high-powered blender, add ALL of the ingredients for the sauce. Blend until smooth and season to taste with sea salt & pepper.
- In the same nonstick skillet, set it on HIGH heat. Once hot, add the jumbo shrimp and add a pinch of sea salt & pepper as it cooks in the skillet. Cook for 4 to 6 minutes, or until the shrimp begins to plump and change color. When the shrimp is nearly finished, reduce the heat to low-medium, add the broccolini then cover and cook (to steam) for 2 to 3 minutes, or until the broccolini turns vibrant green.
