Instructions
- Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with Italian seasoning and salt and pepper to taste. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until shrimp is pink and opaque.
- Remove the shrimp from the pan and put on a plate. Cover to keep warm.
- Wipe out the pan with a paper towel. Heat remaining teaspoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the zucchini noodles and season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until zucchini noodles are just tender. Stir in pesto.
- Place the shrimp on top of the zucchini noodles, along with the cherry tomatoes. Sprinkle with parmesan and serve immediately.
- Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.
Notes
- If you do not want to make it with zoodles for a low-carb option, use thin, whole-grain spaghetti.
- Use raw shrimp instead of cooked shrimp.
- Top with shredded parmesan or chili flakes.
