Ingredients
-
6 medium shrimp (100 g)
100 g zucchini (julienne or cut with a spiral slicer)
1 tbsp butter (can be reduced fat, if preferred)
2 tsp extra virgin olive oil
.25 tsp salt
1 stp garlic
1 tsp parsley
2 medium white mushrooms (diced)
.5 cup white onion (diced)
Tips
It's best to do the noodles ahead of time as they can be a bit unpredictable.
Be sure you completely wash the shrimp and remove any shells.
Directions
First cut your zucchini either julienne or using a spiralizer. Using a paper towel, remove excess moisture.
Place aluminum foil taut over a cookie sheet and spread the noodles out on the cookie sheet (should be resting above the sheet itself). Let them sit for at least 30 minutes. Using a paper towel, remove excess moisture. Heat oven to 200 degree and place in oven for 20 minute increments until zucchini no longer appears readily moist.
In a saute pan, add half of the butter and let it melt slightly. Add olive oil, mushrooms, parsley, garlic and onion. Saute over medium-low heat for 5-8 minutes or until mushrooms brown. Turn heat down a bit and add shrimp and remaining butter.
Cook shrimp for ~5 minutes and turn over part way through. Turn the heat up again to medium-low and add noodles. Stir mixture together with shrimp on top of noodles. Cook for ~2 minutes and then plate.
Serve with a bit of parmesan on top.
