Ingredients
- 4-5 Medium Zucchini if you want half to be pasta I do 2-3 zuccs and 2 oz pasta
- 1/4 C Pesto
- 1/8 C-1/4C Heavy Cream
- Salt and peper to taste
- 1/4 tsp onion powder
- 16-20 Shrimp I’ve used both cooked and raw tail on
Instructions
- Season shrimp with salt, pepper and onion powder. If the shrimp is already cooked set aside.
- If your shrimp is raw cook them until ALMOST done in a NONSTICK (this is important) pan that is heated up and sprayed with a good amount of spray oil like Pam. Remove from heat and set aside. If you have tail on shrimp cook them with the tails on this will give them better flavor. Once cooked discard the tails.
- Make your zoodles. Cut the round end off of the zucchini and with and use the stem part as a handle. If you have this zoodle maker this step will go super fast. Like just a couple minutes max.
- Then in the pan you cooked the shrimp on. Make sure it is hot and resprayed add in the noodles. When they are close to your desired texture (some people like them more soft and others with a snap) this will only take a few minutes over medium high heat, turn off the heat.
- Add in pesto and cream and stir. Add as the cream to your desired consistency. If you are spitting this with regular noodles. Make sure your noodles are cooked before you start step 4. I like pronto noodles when I’m in a rush. Then I just put noodles on one side of the pan and the zucchini on the other and and mix on their own sides and just a bit of overlap will happen in the middle which is fine since I want everyone to at least have some zuccs.
- Add back in the shrimp just to reheat. If you need to you might want to turn your heat back on just for a minute.
- Add any additional salt you might want.
- Enjoy and marvel at the fact that that delicious meal was mostly veggies and so low in calories!
