Shrimp Scampi Zoodles
Description
The zucchini noodles provide a tender, low-carb alternative to pasta, absorbing the bright, garlicky flavors from the sauce. Cooking the onion and garlic until soft allows their flavors to meld before adding the shrimp and tomatoes, which warm briefly to avoid overcooking the shrimp.
The addition of lemon juice and chicken broth adds brightness and moisture to the dish, while the Sriracha introduces a mild heat. Parmesan cheese sprinkled on top offers a salty, creamy contrast.
This dish is served warm, making it a light, flavorful meal option. The shrimp are already cooked before adding, so they are heated gently to maintain their texture.
Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 small onion chopped
- 4 cloves garlic minced
- 1 teaspoon Sriracha sauce or hot sauce of your choice
- 1 pound Shrimp cooked
- 1 cup cherry tomato cut in half
- 2 large zucchini
- 1 cup chicken broth low sodium or no sodium added
- lemon juice from half
- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese
Instructions

- In a large skillet heat the olive oil and cook the onion and garlic until soft. Add hot sauce, chicken broth and juice from half a lemon. Stir then throw in the shrimp and cherry tomatoes.
