1 large head cauliflower, cut into small florets
kosher salt
1 garlic clove, grated
1/2 c. white wine

Fill an 8-quart pot with cool water and cauliflower florets. Cover pot and bring to a boil. Season with salt and simmer until tender, about 15 to 18 minutes total. Smaller florets will speed up this step.

Turn off heat and add cream; smash with a potato masher until smooth. Fold in cheese and butter just before serving.
Preheat grill or grill pan on medium-high. Thread shrimp onto skewers. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill shrimp until lightly charred, 2 to 3 minutes on each side.
Serve shrimp skewers over bed of cauliflower mash. Drizzle pesto over shrimp. Garnish with fresh basil.
