Shrimp Zoodles Scampi
WHO DOESN’T LOVE A GOOD SHRIMP SCAMPI RECIPE?
There is something about shrimp scampi that is comforting. Especially when it’s re-written a little bit, makes my body feel good, and I can still enjoy making it in 30 minutes or less (DREAM recipe right there!)… which is exactly what I did with this recipe.
Traditionally shrimp scampi is made with garlic, butter, white wine, and lemon – and served with pasta noodles like linguine. I love comforting dishes like this; however, when I had frequent stomach aches, I realized it wasn’t working for me. Now I’m working on getting fewer of them, which means I need to re-work many of my recipes so they work for me.
When I was searching for a tasty meal and decided I wanted shrimp scampi, this was the dish I was going to make. Even to my surprise this recipe was super easy and turned out WAY BETTER than even I could have guessed. So I want to share with you guys so that you too can make it.
This shrimp zoodles scampi is allergy-friendly, and friendly for many of you with sensitivities. Feel free to add your own adjustments too if there’s a way that it will work for you even better (even if you just add more veggies than I did!).
This is my fresh take on shrimp scampi that uses pure avocado oil spray and the natural juices from the tomatoes to create a killer sauce. Once the shrimp are almost finished cooking, add the spiralized zucchini noodles and cook until soft.
This easy dish can be made with any noodles, up to you- but I chose zucchini because they cook quickly and are light!
