Now some of you might be saying but what about my family? My kids won’t eat that. In fact the whole dish with the cheese only has about 260 calories! You can’t beat that for dinner. It’s still a warm, garlicky, butter flavor, but so much lighter. As delicious as it was, I couldn’t bring myself to ingest that much fat and calories in one sitting, so I started to develop a lighter version and after a few years ended up with this. The first time I made scampi I think the recipe had like 1/2 cup butter and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese or something like that. Being a pasta lover I wasn’t ready to completely give up my whole wheat noodles, but I DO love my veggies, so I am perfectly happy to sub out my high carb friends once in a while for a lighter and still tasty option. Has everyone tried zoodles by now? It seems like they are everywhere, but hadn’t actually tried them until a couple months ago. 🙂 This one came from my mom’s garden and it was just the right size to turn into a bowl of noodles. So like I said before, I just enjoy the ones that other friends and family offer me. I know that I would get sick of them if I felt like I had to eat it every day and I don’t want to get sick of them. That’s one of the reasons that I don’t plant my own zucchini plants. 🙂 I’ll admit, I can definitely hit my zucchini threshold after a few weeks, but as long as I keep changing it up, I can enjoy it far into the fall. Even my pup beagle, Mia, loves zoodles and since she’s on a low protein diet, I’m more than happy to give her some plain zoodles.And here’s the next contestant in zucchini week! So are you all sick of zucchini yet, or are you just getting started like me. You might even be able to fool your kids with these faux noodles into eating their veggies. You end up with this super colorful and totally flavorful low carb dish that will knock your socks off. Of course I added some Sriracha to my scampi and some Parm and that’s about it, my friends. But not to worry, there was plenty of flavor in this zoodles dish.
#SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH ZOODLES PLUS#
All you need are precooked shrimp, some tomatoes because I love cherry tomatoes in my shrimp scampi, and usually I use wine in my shrimp scampi, but because I wanted to lighten up this dish a bit more I used chicken broth, plus I cut out the butter. So shrimp scampi, my fav! Took my good ole’ trusted recipe and lightened it up. This is why I’m making dishes like this, because they’re super low on carbs but super high on taste. But as I mentioned before I’ve been doing a low carb diet thingy, and although I finished my 2 weeks I decided to continue on a bit more, because I felt really good during the 2 weeks so why not, it’s good for me. I love shrimp scampi, and I have a killer recipe here on my blog which I make often. Don’t they look fab? Whoever invented this, total genius. The bigger your zucchini the longer your zoodles will be and my zoodles were huge. I used 2 zucchinis here and you end up with a big bowl of zoodles. To use the spiralizer it took me 1 minute, no lie. That’s when he had enough and bought the spiralizer. Truth be told hubs made a killer zoodles dish before he bought the spiralizer, he used a grater to make the noodles and it took him forever. I cannot wait to see what other vegetables I can use instead of zucchini.īut for now zucchini it is. Hubs bought it a couple months ago and I’ve just been putting off using it, no reason why, I just didn’t know how much fun it’d be to make these zoodles. I’d like to apologize in advance if I may sound like a teenager in this post, but I am super pumped over my spiralizer. Same flavors, same deliciousness, but so much healthier and better for you. Shrimp Scampi Zoodles – take your favorite shrimp scampi dish and lighten it up with zucchini noodles.
