Sautéed Shrimp Over Zucchini Noodles

Easily substitute the zucchini noodles with Spaghetti Squash, Konjac Noodles, or any other low carb alternative!

Oh this is a good one! Once you get the basics down, you can swap out your "noodles" or your protein. You can even serve the "zoodles" on its own or with a grilled protein!

Crazy, but I actually prefer the "zoodles" over pasta now! I get my veggies in and can have a little extra without going off plan. –Melissa M.
