Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles

Lighten up with this low carb dish made in one pan in less than 30 minutes with just enough spicy red pepper flakes and garlic to give it a kick!

Ingredients:

1 tsp tahini paste

2 tsps sesame oil

1/4 cup diced onion

1/2 cup diced red bell pepper 

2 tbsps minced garlic

1 lb raw shrimp (I used size 36/45)

1 tbsp dry minced onion

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp red pepper flakes

1/4 tsp black pepper

1 tsp lemon zest

3 tbsps lemon juice

1/4 cup chicken broth

1 lb zucchini noodles, ready made or make your own

1/4 cup parmesan 

 

Heat tahini and and sesame oil in a large frying pan to medium high then add the onion and red pepper sautéing for 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp, dry minced onion, salt, red pepper flakes and black pepper and cook 3-4 minutes. The shrimp will not be fully cooked at this point. Next add the lemon zest, lemon juice and chicken broth and cook until the shrimp are completely pink, about 3 minutes. Finally add the zucchini noodles and cook about 5 minutes or until they are cooked to your liking. Toss in the parmesan and serve.

Serves 2-3
