This recipe is originally for 1 servings. How many are you cooking for today?

Ingredients
  • 10 5/8 ozs zucchini (spiralized, about 2 medium)
  • 5 1/4 ozs large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 3 1/2 ozs ripe avocado (about 1/2–1)
  • 2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 3/4 oz fresh basil leaves, torn
  • 1 piece lemon (juice)
Instructions
1

Pat shrimp dry and season with pepper. In a hot nonstick skillet, sear shrimp 1–2 minutes per side until opaque and just cooked through (use shrimp’s natural moisture—no oil needed). Remove and set aside.

2

In the same hot pan, briefly wilt garlic and zucchini noodles 1–2 minutes until just tender (use the residual heat; add a splash of water if necessary).

3

Toss zucchini noodles with flaked shrimp, diced avocado, torn basil and lemon juice. Serve immediately.
