Lemon Garlic Parmesan Shrimp Zoodles – Low Carb, Keto, Thm Friendly

Last Updated on June 29, 2022 by Rebecca Huff

Let's face it vegetable noodles are a great vehicle for flavor! Zucchini tends to take on whatever flavor you add to it. I've seen it used in mock apple pie and even chocolate cake.

That's why zucchini noodles, “zoodles,” make such a fantastic pasta replacement: they absorb flavor!

If you are gardening, you likely have an abundance of zucchini right now, and what better way to use it than make all the zucchini noodle dishes you can! My friend Ceri brought some from her garden and I made several meals with them.

My kids love shrimp, but if you don't like it you can substitute any protein you like. For those who do like shrimp, choose wild-caught.

Look for shrimp certified by an independent agency, such as Wild American Shrimp or the Marine Stewardship Council, which certifies that wild fisheries are well-managed and sustainable. ~ How to Buy the Right Shrimp and Why it Matters

You can find zucchini noodles in the produce section of some supermarkets, and you can buy them frozen in some stores. If you follow a low-carb, Ketogenic, Paleo, or Trim Healthy Mama diet, I recommend buying your own spiralizer so you can make them with fresh zucchini.

If you have time, you can put your zucchini noodles into a strainer and add salt so they release some of their liquid. This is not a must-do, and I don't usually bother.
