If you like an easy, tasty, flavorful yet light dish you will love this one. This is a very quick and easy recipe for fried bok choy served with fresh shrimps on top of a creamy cauliflower purée. This dish is a mix of delicate fresh shrimp, warm yet crunchy bok choy and a creamy cauliflower purée. Serve this dish for lunch, main course or as a starter. It is both gluten, grain, dairy free and low carb.
A few tips:
- You can adjust the amount of ginger and garlic according to taste.
- Mix the cauliflower according to taste, make it either completely smooth or leave some crunchy left.
- I used both dijon mustard and chili powder to season the cauliflower purée which makes it a little spicy. But you can adjust the amount of seasoning according to taste or leave the chili powder out.
- Don’t fry the bok choy for too long. It should only get a little warm and golden but still be crunchy and not over cooked.
- You can either add the shrimps to the bok choy post turning off the heat (you don’t want the shrimps to cook or fry, just to get a liiiiittle warm) or you can also add them at the end if you prefer to serve them cold.
