Traditional Shrimp Scampi is made with butter, lots of butter, but I wanted to give it a different spin. It was delicious and loved by the whole family. :)
Ingredients:
1 pound shrimp
2 lemons
3 medium zucchini
1/2 package of brown rice and quinoa spaghetti noodles
1 bunch parsley
4 cloves of garlic, minced
olive oil
salt
pepper
Preparation:
Prepare the pasta according to package directions. Using a Veggetti (or a spiralizer), make the zucchini into "noodles". Place 1 tsp olive oil in a saute pan. Heat over medium heat and add zucchini noodles. Cover with a lid and steam, tossing frequently, for about 5 minutes until tender. Strain pasta noodles and zucchini noodles. In a large stock pot add 2 tsp olive oil and garlic. Heat over medium heat until garlic is fragrant and browning, careful not to burn it. Add shrimp and cook about 5 minutes until just pink. Remove from heat add pasta and zucchini noodles, zest from 1 lemon, the juice from 2 lemons, a handful of parsley leaves, salt and pepper to taste. Enjoy!
