If you haven’t noticed already, I love seafood. And all of my kids do too. Well, all of them except my picky eater, but he doesn’t like anything, so he doesn’t count. And I also really love zucchini! So combine the two, and I am in heaven! Healthy, zucchini shrimp scampi heaven!
Can you blame me? Is there any more perfect bite than this one? I profess not!
For this recipe I used my Tri-Blade Spiral Vegetable Slicer
to make the perfect little zucchini noodles. (That is an affiliate link, but you guys I LOVE my spiralizer, and highly recommend it!)
Summer is coming, and that means tons of zucchini from my garden. Which means that this easy to make 20-minute meal will be entering our regular rotation, and I am pretty excited about it.
This is a classic shrimp scampi recipe but better because it has basil! And noodles made of zucchini.
I hate parsley. I use it from time to time. But I pretty much actually just hate it. I know it adds good flavor to foods. But when I get a bite with the parsley by itself…gag! So I cut back the amount and then added in something I really REALLY love–basil! The flavor it brings is amazing, and makes this scampi mouthwateringly delicious.
I also found this amazing seafood stock that was the perfect base for this recipe. But feel free to use chicken or vegetable stock if you can’t find seafood.
I will quit waxing on and on about the delights of this dish, but trust me, it is a good one. In fact, when I filmed it for your viewing pleasure, my camera man told me it was his favorite thing he has ever eaten that I made. Since he tries everything I make for video, I took that as a big compliment.
