How many of you enjoy eating seafood? I know that I do! One of my favorite seafood restaurants is at the Jersey Shore, not far my daughter’s beach house. Every time that I am down there, I go there to enjoy and all-you-can-eat seafood buffet. I enjoy eating shrimp, lobster, crabs and oysters!
Today’s guest post recipe is courtesy of Chef Israel Reyes at Diamante Cabo San Lucas. It will make approximately 4 servings.

I love shrimp and the shrimp recipe looks great. However, the cauliflower puree looks even better to me because it is so different from what I usually prepare.
I’ll try most any recipe with shrimp. This would be yummy.
Oh wow! This looks and sounds amazing! I think I might make this for my fiance’s birthday! Thanks for the recipe!
WOW, this is beautiful, looks like restaurant quality food! We love tequila, shrimp and cauliflower in our house…so this would make a perfect dish for us. The recipes that are featured on Two Classy Chics are always tasty while easy enough for the home cook , such as myself, can make it.
