Hey friends! As the warm weather rolls in, it’s the ideal time to whip up something fresh and light in the kitchen. Today, I’m super excited to share a delicious recipe for zucchini noodles paired with grilled shrimp. This dish is not only healthy but also packed with flavor, making it a perfect choice for those long summer evenings.
Ingredients You’ll Need:
- 2 medium zucchinis
- 1 pound of shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh basil or parsley for garnish
Directions:
- Prepare the Zoodles: Start by spiralizing the zucchinis into noodles. If you don’t have a spiralizer, a vegetable peeler can do the trick! Set them aside.
- Grill the Shrimp: Preheat your grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. In a bowl, mix the shrimp with olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Once hot, grill the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
- Cook the Zoodles: In a large skillet, add a little olive oil and sauté the zucchini noodles for about 2-3 minutes until just tender. You want to keep them slightly crunchy!
- Combine & Serve: Toss the grilled shrimp with the zoodles, and garnish with fresh basil or parsley. Serve immediately and enjoy!
