This is the spiralizer I used for this recipe, and I love this handy lemon zester. Ok, who am I kidding, I crave burgers year-round. I definitely overdid it a bit around Christmas, so I am glad for recipes like these to get me back on track! I think this dish would also be great in the summer when zucchini is plentiful and everyone is craving lighter things in general. How's your January going? As always, I'm feeling a bit down because it's January and I live in a cold place, but at least I've been eating pretty healthy, so that has me feeling a bit better physically. I added some red pepper flakes to give it a bit of heat and color, but that's optional if you're not big on spice. I'm not a giant carb-aholic to begin with, so I'm ok swapping out the pasta (sometimes, not all the time!), but low-carb isn't for everyone. I get that zucchini noodles are sacrilegious for some people. You could even make these keto shrimp zoodles as a side dish if you're a meat and potatoes kinda person. You don't want to overcook the shrimp either, right. Once you've spiralized the zucchini, this zucchini noodles with shrimp recipe is ready in like 5 minutes. The texture could be described as a bit crisper than al dente if we're comparing it to actual noodles. I tried hard to not overcook the zoodles because I didn't want a mushy, watery mess. I kept it pretty simple for my first go at zucchini noodles. I personally preferred Alphagetti because I could spell out rude words, but I was a bad child. I actually find the term 'zoodles' a bit weird since I grew up with those zoo animal shaped pasta pieces in a tomato sauce in a can, and they were called Zoodles. Garlic + shrimp + zucchini noodles = low-carb heaven. I'm making use of my Christmas spiralizer, and here they are in all their glory. You've been waiting for the day that zoodles make it to this blog, right? Ok, you probably haven't. Want a fast low-carb meal that's healthy and tasty? Try these 15 minute garlic shrimp zoodles.
