Ingredients
Shrimp
- 4 ounces pancetta or baconn
- 1 pound large shrimp
- 1 1/2 teaspoon Calabrian Chili paste
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
Cauliflower
- 2 tablespoons olive oil divided
- 1 cup cauliflower florets
- salt to taste
- 1/4 cup red onion diced
- 3 tablespoons sun-dried tomatoes diced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 cup chicken stock
- 1 teaspoon gelatin
Instructions
- Combine the shrimp, chili paste, salt, and garlic in a large bowl and toss to coat evenly. Set aside to marinate for 15 minutes at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 425ºF. Grease a baking sheet with a bit of oil and set aside.
- Toss the cauliflower with olive oil and a pinch of salt. Spread onto the baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes.
- While the cauliflower roasts, prepare the sauce for the cauliflower. Sauté the red onion in a tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat until soft and translucent, about 10 minutes. Add the tomatoes, salt, chicken stock, and gelatin. Simmer until reduced by half, another 10 minutes.
- When the cauliflower is roasted, toss with the onion and sun-dried tomato sauce. Set aside.
- Heat a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook until the fat has rendered out, the meat is cooked through and beginning to brown, about 10 minutes. Transfer the pancetta to a paper towel lined plate to remove excess grease but leave as much in the pan as possible.
- Add the seasoned shrimp and cook until opaque on the first side, then flip and cook the second side, about 2 minutes total. Off heat, stir in lemon juice and zest.
- To serve, plate the shrimp atop the cauliflower mixture and add a bit more lemon zest and juice, if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley.
