What do you think of this Spooky Halloween Cauliflower Bowl Bean Dip Tray? I hope you guys like it.

Halloween is just around the corner so food bloggers, naturally, tend to give you brilliant ideas and plan Halloween party foods just a bit earlier.

With that being said, I genuinely think that I have outdone myself. In addition, my oldest son went crazy over this one. The boy passionately loves Halloween as much as he loves Xmas.

Anyways, we all ate everything from this tray. EVERYTHING. Except for those eyeballs, of course! It was such a disgustingly delicious mess, and we loved every single bite.

So, for instance, when I was coming up with this creative idea, I merely had the cauliflower with the dip in mind, but as days went by the new picture appeared in front of me. Well, more like what you see now on my blog.

This is precisely my very first spooky recipe on the blog and I sincerely hope I nailed it for all you Halloween Lovers. In another word, personally, I was pleased with the outcome.

RO*TEL is known for promptly delivering bold, adventurous flavor.

I used a lot of Hunts Ketchup to decorate. Adding a zesty kick using RO*TEL Original Diced Tomatoes and Green Chilies since RO*TEL is known for promptly delivering bold, adventurous flavor.

Hey, check the Amazon store with must-have items for HALLOWEEN.

Mixing on some Refried Beans and Guacamole. I mean, who would not love this, right?

Nevertheless, I shop in Walmart since they have everything that I needed for this dish.

Don’t you absolutely love going to the store, and always find things that you came for? That’s pretty much Walmart for me.

As I said, everything is edible on this tray, except for Halloween Decoration. You can also visit this site for more RO*TEL Halloween inspiration.

I know you guys going to love it.

6. Now, slice hot dogs in half, cut where the nail suppose to be. You may dip fingers in the ketchup or guacamole. Place the Hot Dog Fake Fingers all around the tray/ sheet pan.

Notes

Decorate the table and the rest of the dip as you wish. Make it personal, scary, but also kids friendly and in a holiday spirit.  Use this recipe as an inspiration. Also, make sure to add chips and extra produce.

I adore Shrimp in Lemon and Garlic Sauce. Lemon , garlic, and butter sauce is the best in shrimp dishes. This is one of our favorite shrimp recipes, and I serve it usually over creamy pasta. It is absolutely HEAVENLY! 

These shrimp go incredibly well with spaghetti squash, over-bowl greens, zoodles, cauliflower rice, and zucchini noodles. If none of those appeal to you, which I would be shocked if it doesn’t, but lets pretend, then grab a loaf of Italian or French bread and dip it in before eating.

Let me tell you, friends, you should most definitely try it.

I could have done that in the past or I could not. These have the nicest flavor and scent, by far. You must try this recipe since it is incredibly simple and delicious.

I frequently make this when my spouse and I do dates at home. Also, when we have guests who do not have allergies, you can find this dish along with pasta on our table.  The most memorable memories are made over a meal!

Shrimp in Lemon and Garlic Sauce Recipe

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 10 minutes

Total Time 25 minutes

Ingredients

• 5 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pounds shrimp, with a tail peeled and deveined
• 1/4 teaspoon sea salt, or to taste
• 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
• 3-5 cloves garlic minced
• 1/2 tablespoon dried parsley
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice, use ripe Lemon
• 1/4 teaspoon organic tumeric powder optional, read notes
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest

GARNISH

• Fresh chopped parsley

Instructions

1. Clean, peel, and devein shrimp then pat dry with a kitchen paper towel. If you want to save time you can get already deveined and peeled shrimp.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter in a skillet over medium heat.
3. To the butter add cleaned, shrimp and season the shrimp with sea salt and ground black pepper, to taste.
4. Cook for about two minutes on each side, the shrimp is cooked when it turns completely pink, make sure to stir; Remove from the pan and set aside on a platter or a plate.
5. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter to the skillet, then add the garlic and cook for about one minute.
6. Add lemon juice, and turmeric powder. Cook, while slightly moving the skillet or just stir the butter, garlic, lemon juice, and turmeric together.
7. Cook it for a couple of minutes at medium-high temperature, continuously stirring.
8. Return the shrimp back to the skillet and stir to coat the shrimp with the butter mixture and cook for an additional minute or so. Add lemon zest and stir again. This is just to combine all the flavors and allow the shrimp to soak in the lemony flavor.
9. Take off the heat. Taste test, and add more salt or lemon juice to please your taste buds.
10. Garnish with parsley if you desire. The best served over pasta.

Notes

I add turmeric powder for the color, plus it got amazing health benefits. It is, of course, optional.

If the shrimp are precooked and frozen, thaw them first completely. Submerge the shrimp under cold water and let it sit until defrosted for about 10-15 minutes. Then take kitchen paper towels and make sure to dry the shrimp completely before cooking it.

if it is pre-cooked you don't need as much time to cook on each side. Just make a sauce and toss pre-cooked shrimp in it to heat it through.

Scallion-Mushroom Frittata is one of my go-to brunches, especially when the kids are going to school. PBJ sandwiches or cereals just do not cut it anymore.

Well, they never did. I was more of eggs and bacon gal. With that being said, this kind of breakfast is perfect to wake them up and prepare for a long school day.

Easy and delicious breakfast idea.

Don’t you just love frittatas?

They are so easy and versatile, and my family absolutely loves them.

Well, they certainly do not like it when I add mushrooms or spinach. Boy, do not like that at all. My husband, Nebs is warming up and my daughter and I love it either way. 

Needless to say, there is nothing better than a homemade breakfast. I am not much of a breakfast eater. However, I do love a good brunch, of course, but this meal always hit the spot.

I just love frittatas. We switch things up depending on the season, and sometimes I use what we have in the fridge.
