Shrimp & Zucchini Noodle Bowl | Packed with flavor and nutrition, this healthier take on shrimp scampi is ready to enjoy in just 15 minutes. While you could eat the original version, with its carby pasta and loads of butter, we think you’ll enjoy this dish just as much – maybe more, if you’re looking to add more healthful food to your diet. The “zoodles” add swirls of color to your dish and are much better for you than white pasta. Try our shrimp & zucchini noodle bowl and let us know what you think.
