Description
Chili Lime Shrimp Zoodles are a delightful dish that combines fresh shrimp with zesty lime and spiralized zucchini noodles for a light, healthy meal.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 medium zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons lime juice, freshly squeezed
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh cilantro for garnish
- 1 medium avocado, sliced
Instructions
- Prepare the zoodles by spiralizing the zucchinis and setting them aside on a paper towel to absorb excess moisture.
- Marinate the shrimp by combining it with lime juice, chili powder, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Let it marinate for about 15-20 minutes.
- Cook the shrimp in a large skillet with 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque.
- Sauté the zoodles in the same skillet with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil for 2-3 minutes until just tender.
- Assemble the bowls by dividing the zoodles among serving bowls, topping with cooked shrimp, sliced avocado, and chopped cilantro.
- Serve warm, garnished with additional cilantro and a drizzle of lime juice from the marinade.
Notes
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
- Reheat in a skillet over low heat; avoid freezing as zoodles can become mushy.
