Receta Garlicky Zucchini Spaghetti w/ Shrimp
Garlicky Zucchini Spaghetti w/ Shrimp
This recipe came to me when I was having fun with the copious amounts of zucchini I had on hand from our garden. I wanted something simple delicious and light, also low on carbs and fats. I used a mandolin to fashion the zucchini into 'spaghetti'. The cherry tomatoes just add a splash of color and some lycopene for heart health! Serve over rice for a longer lasting fullness and to stretch your dollar.
