Cilantro Lime Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles




Here's a recipe for cilantro lime shrimp scampi with zucchini noodles:

Ingredients:

For the shrimp:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
  • Zest and juice of 1 lime
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

For the zucchini noodles:

  • 4 medium zucchinis
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

1. Prepare the zucchini noodles: Using a spiralizer, spiralize the zucchinis into noodles. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a vegetable peeler to create long, thin strips. Set aside.

2. In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.

3. Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season with salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.

4. Once the shrimp are cooked through, add the chopped cilantro, lime zest, and lime juice to the skillet. Toss everything together until the shrimp are coated evenly with the cilantro lime mixture. Remove from heat.

5. In a separate skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

6. Serve the cilantro lime shrimp scampi over the zucchini noodles. Garnish with additional chopped cilantro and lime wedges if desired.

Enjoy your delicious and healthy cilantro lime shrimp scampi with zucchini noodles!
