  3. Add the chicken broth to the pan.
  4. Add the zucchini noodles and wholewheat noodles to the pan.
  5. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until zucchini noodles are just tender. Add salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Drizzle the lemon juice over the top of the shrimp and noodles/zoodles. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Notes:

  • Use a spiralizer for best zoodle results, or buy pre-spiralized noodles.
  • Make sure you have spiralized the zucchini into zoodles before you get started.
  • Optional: As shown you can do a 50/50 mix of zoodles and whole wheat pasta. You’ll have to cook the whole wheat pasta prior to the rest of the recipe.
  • Add some crushed chili flakes for a kick of heat.
  • Cut the zoodles into 6-inch lengths so they are easier to eat.
  • Don’t overcook the zoodles or they will become too watery.
  • For an extra Italian twist, sprinkle on some Parmesan before serving.
  • Top with parsley for a pop of freshness.
  • Serve immediately.
