4.41 37 Published Jul 06, 2020, Updated Feb 22, 2023 This dish is quickly becoming a weekly staple at our house right now because it takes only one skillet and a few minutes to prepare! It’s a lovely summer weeknight meal that’s light and fresh, yet still delicious and filling. Let’s break down the different components:
Garlic shrimp – This garlic shrimp is so flavorful and perfectly balanced with the freshness of the other ingredients.Asparagus – I love fresh asparagus when it’s in season! For this recipe, you start by cooking the asparagus in a saucepan and then add the rest of the ingredients. Needless to say, the end result is super flavorful!Zucchini noodles – If you’ve never made veggie noodles, now is the time to start! I have been obsessed with my spiralizer for ages and zucchini noodles (or zoodles) are one of my fave things to make with it.Garlic sauce – The light sauce that encompasses all of the ingredients is garlicky, has a little heat from the crushed red pepper and pairs beautifully with the zucchini noodles.
Ingredients Needed:
shrimp – look for shrimp that is peeled and deveined already to save time. I get fresh shrimp when possible, but thawed frozen shrimp works great for this dish too.fresh asparaguszucchini – we’re turning the zucchini into zoodles… see my tips below.garlic clovesfresh lemon juiceolive oilcrushed red peppersea salt and pepperfresh parsley – this is an optional for garnishing, but I love using fresh herbs to brighten up meals and highly recommend topping this dish with parsley if you have it.
How to Make Zucchini Noodles
If you don’t have a spiralizer, I highly recommend getting one. It makes perfect vegetable noodles in no time and costs less than $30. There are soooo many ways to use your spiralizer. I have quite a few recipes including my jerk shrimp and crispy plantain noodles, zucchini noodle lo mein, zucchini noodle salad and this apple slaw. That said, if you don’t have a spiralizer and still want to try this recipe, don’t stress! You can make zucchini noodles using a mandoline, julienne slicer or vegetable peeler, it will just take more time. Another quick and easy option is to buy pre-packaged zucchini noodles from the store. You can find them in the produce section of most grocery stores.
