For The Tabbouleh:

• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• coarse sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
• grated zest and juice of 1 lemon

Directions: 

1. In a large resealable bag or large bowl, toss the prawns with the oil, garlic, za’atar, and red pepper flakes. Cover and marinate in the refrigerator overnight.
2. To make the tabbouleh, pulse the cauliflower florets in a food processor until about the size of couscous.
