Low Carb Lemon Garlic Shrimp Zoodles

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Peel 3 zucchinis, leaving the skin on the 4th if desired.

Use a slicer to spiralize the zucchinis into noodles, cutting them to desired length with scissors.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat.

Add the zucchini noodles to the pan and stir, cooking for about 2-3 minutes until softened.

Cover the pan with a lid to help steam the noodles and cook for about 4 minutes until reduced in size.

Transfer the cooked noodles to a colander to drain excess liquid.

In the same pan, add 340 grams of precooked shrimp and heat until warmed through.

Add 1 cup of quartered cherry tomatoes and 2 tablespoons of dry parsley to the shrimp, cooking until tomatoes soften.

In a bowl, combine 2 cloves of crushed garlic, the juice of 1 whole lemon, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 teaspoon of sea salt, mixing well.

Return the drained zucchini noodles to the bowl and add the shrimp and tomato mixture on top.

Toss everything together to combine, adding parmesan cheese on top if desired.
