Recipe:
Ingredients:
1 cup of Raw Shrimp (120 Calories)
2 tbsp of Pesto (158 Calories)
1 Medium Zucchini spiralized (31 Calories)
Instructions:
1. Begin by cleaning the shrimp, pat dry, and then toss them in a bowl with 1 tablespoon of pesto to fully coat. Set them aside to marinate for about 15 minutes.
2. While the shrimp is marinating, start on your zucchini. Spiralize the zucchini with a spiralizer to make zucchini noodles, often known as zoodles.
3. Heat a drizzle of oil in a nice size pan. Once it’s hot, toss in your shrimp. Let them cook on each side for about 2 minutes or until they’re a nice pink color. Remove from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, toss in zucchini noodles. Sauté them quickly – they don’t need to cook for long. Just a couple of minutes should soften them up. Once they’re to your desired tenderness, stir in the rest of the pesto. Toss it all together to coat everything in the pesto.
5. Add the shrimp back into the pan, toss everything together, let it cook for another minute or so.
6. Once everything is nicely mixed and hot, serve in a bowl. Enjoy hot!
This dish is a delightful blend of both world flavors that leaves you full and satisfies without any guilt. The creamy pesto blends seamlessly with the seafood flavor of the shrimp, and the zucchini noodles add a refreshing crunch that balances the dish. It’s the perfect meal for anyone looking to try something different and maintain their calorie count. Enjoy this guilt-free Italian bowl brought to life with an Indian twist.
