Sad but true: Pasta is packed with calories and fast-burning carbs, making it less-than-ideal for everyday consumption. But with the Spiralizer, you can fill your plate with pasta, sans guilt. It transforms regular veggies (everything from zucchini to sweet potato) into noodle-shaped deliciousness that, granted, isn't exactly like the real thing -- but is definitely a healthy, yummy substitute. And anything you can do to noodles, you can do to these veggie iterations.
The Recipe: Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles
Ingredients:
4 tablespoons olive oil
1-1/2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/2 cup onions, diced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/3 cup white wine
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 pint cherry tomatoes
2 tablespoon butter
Salt and pepper
Juice of 1 lemon
1/3 cup fresh basil, chopped
3 zucchinis, spiralized
Directions:
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and then add the shrimp. Season the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes and the salt and pepper. Sauté the shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes per side, until they are opaque. Remove from pan. Add the onions and sauté until translucent, then add the garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds and then add the white wine. Add the cherry tomatoes and cover the skillet. Let cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
Put the shrimp back in the pan, along with butter, lemon juice, basil and the remaining red pepper flakes. Heat another skillet over medium-high heat and add the remaining olive oil. Sauté the zucchini noodles for 2-3 minutes, then remove and add to the other pan. Toss to coat.
