I have been looking for alternatives to eating pasta and making zoodles is my favorite substitute. I bought the Paderno World Cuisine Spiralizer Pro (4 blade) on Amazon and it makes the process very quick and easy. I followed the recipe below and decided to toast up some Joseph’s Whole Wheat Pita’s and cut them up in pieces along with some steamed broccoli.

Yield: 2 to 4 servings
Prep Time: 20 min
Cook Time: 10 min
Ingredients:
2 Tablespoons olive oil
1 pound jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
1 Tablespoon minced garlic
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
1/4 cup white wine
2 Tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (I used one large lemon)
2 medium zucchini, cut into noodles
Chopped parsley, for garnish
Directions:
Place a large sauté pan over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and heat it for 1 minute. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook them for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
Add the shrimp to the pan and cook them, stirring as needed, until they are cooked throughout and pink on all sides, about 3 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and then using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a bowl, leaving any liquid in the pan.
Increase the heat to medium. Add the white wine and lemon juice to the pan. Using a wooden spoon, scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, cooking the wine and lemon juice for 2 minutes. Add the zucchini noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, garish with parsley and serve immediately. I served this along with some broccoli and toasted pita.
