Zucchini Noodles With Spicy Shrimp Recipes

SPICY SHRIMP TORTILLA SOUP WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES

Steps:

• Cut zucchini in half, then make a cut lengthwise on both sides about 1/4-inch deep. Cut into small noodles using a spiralizer.
• Combine tomatoes, broth, chili powder, red pepper flakes, oregano, and black pepper in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring soup to a simmer, reduce heat, and cook for 15 minutes.
• Add shrimp and desired amount of zucchini. Simmer until shrimp is pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Ladle into soup bowls.

ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH SPICY SHRIMP

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot full of water to a boil. Salt generously.
• Using a julienne peeler or mandoline, create ribbons of zucchini noodles. Blanch the zucchini briefly in the boiling water, for about 2 minutes, until just wilted. Drain the zucchini noodles into a separate bowl and set both the vegetables and drained water aside.
• In a saute pan, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until just translucent.
• Add shrimp, sriracha sauce, fish sauce, sugar, and a little black pepper, to taste.
• Stirring frequently, cook until the shrimp is just cooked through and pink, about 3 minutes.
• At the tail end of the cooking process, stir in the butter and about 1/2 cup of the reserved water to create a sauce.
• Serve the shrimp on a bed of zucchini noodles, and drizzle with the pan sauce. Garnish with cilantro and basil (if desired), and enjoy!

SHRIMP WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the shrimp, onion, garlic, chile flakes, salt and pepper, then cook until the onions are translucent and the shrimp are opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the white wine, then allow it to boil and reduce slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Cook until the zucchini is tender, about 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes and lemon zest to the skillet, then toss to combine. Sprinkle over the Parmesan and garnish with the basil leaves. Remove the smashed garlic cloves and serve straight from the skillet.
