Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

4 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound jumbo shrimp, cleaned
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 teaspoons chile flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
One 16-ounce store-bought package zucchini noodles
1 cup multicolored grape tomatoes, halved
2 lemons, zested
2/3 cup shredded Parmesan
6 to 8 fresh basil leaves

Steps:

  • Heat the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the shrimp, onion, garlic, chile flakes, salt and pepper, then cook until the onions are translucent and the shrimp are opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the white wine, then allow it to boil and reduce slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Cook until the zucchini is tender, about 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes and lemon zest to the skillet, then toss to combine. Sprinkle over the Parmesan and garnish with the basil leaves. Remove the smashed garlic cloves and serve straight from the skillet.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH SPICY VEG NOODLES

The sweet-salty-sour dressing in this fresh salad does double duty. Inspired by the combination of fish sauce, lime juice and garlic in the Vietnamese dipping sauce nuoc cham, it's whisked with rice vinegar and vegetable oil. The result works both as a marinade for shrimp and a tenderizing dressing for the zucchini and carrot noodles.

1/4 cup roasted salted peanuts, chopped

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a briny smell, and use fresh zucchini that is not too soft.
  • Don't overcook the shrimp: Shrimp cook quickly, so be careful not to overcook them. Cook them for just a few minutes per side, or until they are pink and opaque.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and color to your dish. Some good options include zucchini, bell peppers, onions, and mushrooms.
  • Season your dish well: Use a combination of salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste. You can also add other spices, such as paprika, cumin, or chili powder.
  • Serve immediately: This dish is best served immediately after it is cooked. The zucchini noodles will start to soften if they sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Grilled shrimp over zucchini noodles is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a summer dinner. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple tips, you can create a dish that is sure to impress your family and friends.
