Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup dry crab boil seasoning (such as Zatarain's or Old Bay)
1/4 cup kosher salt
2 yellow onions, quartered
6 garlic cloves
3 lemons, halved crosswise
2 1-pounds heads of cauliflower, cored, trimmed into 2" florets
Cocktail sauce
Ingredient info: Crab boil seasoning is available at most supermarkets in the seafood or spice section, and at specialty foods stores.

Steps:

  • Combine crab boil, salt, onions, garlic, and 6 quarts water in a large pot. Squeeze juice from lemons into pot and add lemon halves. Set pot over high heat and bring liquid to a boil. Cook for 10 minutes to let flavors meld. Using a slotted spoon, remove onions, garlic, and lemons from broth; discard. Return liquid to a rolling boil.
  • Add cauliflower; turn off heat, cover pot tightly, and let stand until cauliflower is crisp-tender, 5-10 minutes. Drain; spread out cauliflower on a rimmed baking sheet and let cool completely. DO AHEAD: Cauliflower can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.
  • Arrange room-temperature or chilled cauliflower on a platter with cocktail sauce for dipping.

This shrimp cocktail is a great way to get your kids to eat seafood. My kids love it, and they always ask for seconds. I like to serve it with some fun garnishes, like pineapple chunks or cherry tomatoes.

I love this recipe because it's so versatile. You can use any type of shrimp you like, and you can adjust the ingredients in the cocktail sauce to your own taste. I like to add a little bit of horseradish to mine for a bit of a kick.
