Step 1

Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the bell pepper and onions and saute until the vegetables are tender and beginning to brown, 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the tomatoes, Cajun seasoning and 1/4 teaspoon of salt and bring to a simmer. Cover and reduce heat to low.

Step 2

2. Cut any leaves off of the cauliflower. Grate the cauliflower with a box grater into rice-like bits, stopping when you get to the hard core and stem. Discard core and place the grated cauliflower in a medium saucepan. Add the milk, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and a bay leaf. Bring to a simmer over medium-low heat and cook, stirring frequently, until the cauliflower is very tender, about 8 minutes. Season with pepper and stir in the cheese. Cover and keep warm over low heat.

Step 3

3. Add the shrimp to the tomato mixture, cover and cook over low heat, stirring once, until the shrimp are cooked through, about 8 minutes. Divide the "grits" among 4 shallow bowls and top with the shrimp mixture and a sprinkle of parsley.
