Szechuan Shrimp Zucchini Noodles
Szechuan Shrimp Zucchini Noodles are among several of my delicious zucchini noodle recipes that have that pasta-like feel.
Ahhhh, remember the days when you were in your twenties and you could indulge in that giant bowl of pasta and not gain an ounce?
Then fast forward to your forties and you gain 3 pounds by just looking at that same bowl of pasta?
Well, that’s the story of my relationship with pasta anyway (sigh).
I have a very simple veggie spiralizer that’s super easy to use.
It creates gorgeous zucchini noodles in seconds.
They have fancier ones of course, but this one works for me 🙂
How to make Szechuan Shrimp Zucchini Noodles
For this dish I started by marinating a pound of jumbo shrimp in some soy sauce and garlic.
And as the shrimp marinated I made my zucchini noodles.
Then set a skillet over medium high heat to cook the shrimp first.
A little sesame oil goes in and then the shrimp.
Just a few minutes and the shrimp are ready to go.
Remove them from the skillet and add the zucchini noodles.
They only take 3 to 4 minutes, and stir them a few times.
Next add the Szechuan sauce and the cooked shrimp to the zucchini noodles.
Toss them around for about a minute.
Serve the Szechuan Shrimp Zucchini Noodles with some chopped peanuts over top for some crunch and texture.
