If you love the idea of shrimp and pasta together but would rather not have to deal with all the carbs, here’s a zucchini shrimp scampi recipe just for you!
The shrimp are cooked in a garlic butter sauce so they are the perfect topping for spiralized veggies. Here I have used squash and mushrooms, but this recipe would work equally well with zucchini or any other veggie you prefer. I love the yellow color of the squash noodles- it really makes for an eye-catching dish!
