Poor Man's "Shrimp" Cocktail
" This is an amazing recipe! Very appetizing and a really good substitute if you are allergic or do not like seafood. The original recipe said to steep the cauliflower for 5-10 minutes - I did it for 10 and they were completely limp. Next time I will just do them for 3 minutes so they are crisp.It is so easy to make. The recipe is from the February 2012 Bon Appetit magazine. Great appetizer for vegetarians"
