Equipment

  • Spiralizer
  • Skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • Garlic press
  • Cheese grater

Ingredients

  • 1 pound Shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 medium Zucchinis
  • 1 cup Heavy cream
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 2 tablespoons Butter
  • 1 tablespoon Olive oil
  • 3 cloves Garlic, minced
  • ½ teaspoon Salt to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon Black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  • Begin by preparing your zoodles. Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchinis into noodles. Set aside.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  • In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken.
  • Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the cream, creating a smooth Alfredo sauce.
  • Add the zoodles to the skillet, tossing them in the Alfredo sauce to cook slightly, about 2 minutes – they should remain al dente.
  • Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together until the shrimp are heated through and coated with the sauce.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
  • Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

Notes

For a thicker sauce, allow the Alfredo to simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the desired consistency is reached.
If you do not have a spiralizer, use a vegetable peeler to create thin zucchini ribbons.
Ensure not to overcook the zoodles to maintain their pasta-like texture.
Customize this dish by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or a squeeze of lemon juice for a touch of brightness.
