    Yummy! I just prepared and devoured the shrimp and cauliflower mash. It was so tasty. I wanted to let you know that I added the garlic in with the shrimp and onions. Please let me know if that what I should have done. I’ll take a picture and send it to you next round. I had to practice. It was bomb!
