Zucchini Noodles with Garlic Shrimp
This is really quick and easy to throw together on a busy evening. I use this garlic shrimp alongside many other recipes, like brown rice buddha bowls, or on a bed of brown rice pasta! I have been in love with spiralizing my veggies because it looks fancy without the fuss!
Ingredients
- 6 zucchini washed
- 1 lb shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- the juice of 1 lemon
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley finely chopped
Instructions
-
Using a spiral slicer, cut the zucchini into noodles.
-
Sprinkle the zucchini with salt and toss to combine. Let the zucchini sit for 15 minutes while the salt extracts the moisture.
-
Meanwhile, combine garlic, paprika, chili flakes,lemon juice, and shrimp in a bowl and mix well.
-
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. When the pan is hot, add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper. Saute until the shrimp change color.
-
Rinse the zucchini under running water to remove the salt and dry on paper towels.
-
Add the zucchini noodles and parsley to the garlic shrimp, toss to coat and serve.
