Instructions

  • Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to prepare your zucchini noodles. (Optional) for a firmer end result, sprinkle the spiralized zucchini with salt and mix well in a colander. Leave for 5 minutes then press firmly to remove excess moisture. Rinse and drain well before using.

  • Add garlic, paprika, salt and pepper and saute for another 2 minutes until shrimp is cooked through, stirring well.
