Garlic shrimp and mushroom zoodles are a light yet savory dish that brings together the delightful flavors of shrimp, mushrooms, and zucchini noodles. This healthy and low-carb recipe is perfect for a quick meal and offers a burst of flavors with each bite. Ideal for weeknight dinners, it doesn't compromise on taste while being nutritious and easy to prepare.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Wash the zucchini and use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Set the zoodles aside.
2. Prepare the Mushrooms:
- Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel and slice them into thin pieces.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with a dash of salt, onion powder, and paprika.
- Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil.
- Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are tender and golden brown.
- Add the minced garlic to the skillet with the mushrooms and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant.
6. Cook the Zoodles:
- Add the zoodles to the skillet and toss them together with the mushrooms and garlic. Cook for about 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are slightly softened but still have a bite (al dente).
7. Combine and Serve:
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together for another minute or two until everything is well-combined and heated through.
8. Plate and Enjoy:
- Serve the Garlic Shrimp and Mushroom Zoodles immediately while warm.
Tips:
- Choose fresh and firm zucchini to ensure the zoodles have the right texture.
- Do not overcook the shrimp; they should be pink and opaque to avoid being rubbery.
- Use a spiralizer for the best zoodle results, or a vegetable peeler if you don't have one.
- For added flavor, sprinkle a little bit of grated Parmesan cheese on top before serving.
- Add a splash of lemon juice at the end of cooking to enhance the flavors of the dish.
- Adjust the seasoning to your taste, and consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a kick.
In just a few simple steps, you can enjoy a satisfying and wholesome meal with these garlic shrimp and mushroom zoodles. With the perfect balance of flavors and textures, this dish is sure to become a favorite.
