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.

I'm sorry, but this recipe is just not good. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.

This recipe is a waste of time. The shrimp was tough and the cocktail sauce was tasteless.

The shrimp was overcooked and the cocktail sauce was too watery. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some more spices to the cocktail sauce.

I'm not a big fan of shrimp, but I really enjoyed this recipe. The cocktail sauce is what really makes it.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover shrimp. I also like to add a bit of chopped celery and onion to the cocktail sauce.

I added a bit of diced avocado to the cocktail sauce and it was amazing! This recipe is definitely a keeper.

I was skeptical at first, but this recipe really surprised me. The shrimp was perfectly cooked and the cocktail sauce was tangy and flavorful.
