Shrimp Scampi Zoodles Recipe
One of my “most favorite” purchases over the last year has been my Paderno world cuisine spiralizer. It literally makes the ‘humdrum’ of preparing dinner so much fun. You can grab so many different fruits and vegetables and make some seriously fun recipes. One of my favorite things to make are zoodles.
Zucchini are some of my favorite vegetables to cook with. Whether I am grilling wedges or making zoodles, or using them to make brownies, cakes, and bread. There are a ton of different recipes you can create with this one awesome vegetable.
Ingredients for Shrimp Scampi Zoodles
This recipe is by far one of my favorite easy recipes. Not only are you finished in 15 minutes, but you only need a handful of ingredients. Here is a list of what I like to use with my shrimp scamp zoodles:
- 14 peeled, cooked shrimp
- 2 medium zucchini
- Garlic powder
- Parsley
- Crushed red pepper flakes
- Lemon zest
- Olive oil
How to Make Shrimp Scampi Zoodles
- Grab the spiralizer and the zucchini and use the chipper blade. (This is one of the three blades that comes with the Paderno.) Use a knife to cut off both ends of the zucchini and then place it into the spiralizer. Turn until you have fresh zoodles.
- Place a large skillet over medium heat and add 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil. Place the fresh zoodles into the skillet and add the garlic and red pepper flakes to flavor things up. Toss zoodles in olive oil and season well. Cover skillet and heat for one minute. Remove lid, toss zoodles again, and cover for an additional two minutes. Remove from heat and keep covered.
- Add the shrimp to a small skillet over medium high heat in a tbsp of olive oil. Season with salt and pepper, lemon zest, and sprinkle with parsley. Once the shrimp are heated through, add the zucchini noodles and serve immediately.

I planted zucchini this year, and usually this is a pretty successful crop, so I’m looking forward to trying these. A friend makes them for her diabetic husband all the time. I think you can get them at Whole Foods if you don’t have the spiralizer, or if you want to see if you like the way they taste before buying one:)
I wish our yard was big enough to have a garden, zucchini would be on the TOP of my list. The good news is that they are in season and they are so inexpensive. I make this recipe a ton and I can’t wait to make it again this week.
