Instructions

- Drain cauliflower in a colander and transfer back to the pot over medium heat; add grated garlic, white wine, and 1 cup water; season with 1 teaspoon salt. Stir and cover pot; simmer for 5 minutes. Turn off heat and add cream; smash with a potato masher until smooth. Fold in cheese and butter just before serving.
- Preheat grill or grill pan on medium-high. Thread shrimp onto skewers. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill shrimp until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
- Serve shrimp skewers over bed of cauliflower mash. Drizzle pesto over shrimp. Garnish with fresh basil.
