Zucchini Noodle Shrimp Scampi
Zucchini. Noodles. If you haven’t tried them yet, let this be the recipe that starts your undeniable love for them.
You will want to incorporate them into everything. They are a great way to get your veggie intake up and taste amazing!
All zucchini noodle admiration aside, I hope you stick around to find out why I think so highly of these noods. The combination with the sautéd shrimp in this recipe is unreal. You won’t even notice your not eating actual noodles… eh okay, maybe you will notice because your noodles have a green hue, but the taste will make you want to eat your veggies.
This recipe is a great addition to a low carb diet. If you are wanting to pair this dish with a carb on the side, I highly suggest any form of sweet potato. Once I have more dishes added, I will link some favorites.
You will find that I cook my zucchini noodles in bone broth in this recipe. I really enjoy bone broth and love to sip some on the side while cooking this dish. Here is an article that can give some insight on why bone broth may be something you want to start incorporating in your diet: Bone Broth Article.
Personally, I love the boost of protein that bone broth provides. My favorite bone broth brands are Pacific Foods, Swanson, and Bonafide. Swanson has flavored sipping bone broths that are so convenient and tasty. Their Ginger & Tumeric flavor is the best!
Anyways, I hope this recipe makes you and your gut happy. Enjoy!
