I gardened ALL day today so I'm literally writing this from my bed and it's....3:30 pm 😴. Let's jump right in because I gotta go chillax. Introducing a new fave dish of mine, skillet shrimp zucchini noodles!
TBH I was not on board with the zoodles thing. I definitely don't have zoodler or whatever you call it. But my grocery store has them already prepped for you and now I buy them allthetime.
But I just can't eat them by themselves...so skillet shrimp zucchini noodles to the rescue! Basically a healthier shrimp scampi that's gluten free and lower on the caloric intake.
Solid win since I still have a sour dough starter hanging out in my fridge. Being choosy about my treats these days!
Oh and by the by, this dish takes a whopping 15 minutes to make.
I shall repeat. 15 minutes! And ONE pan!
So get going already (while I take a nap)! Skillet shrimp zucchini noodle recipe below 👍🏻.
