Instructions
- Devein and rinse the shrimp under cold water, pat dry and set aside.
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season it well with salt. Cook the pasta until al dente, drain it then drizzle a small amount of olive oil over it (about 1 teaspoon). Stir to coat lightly in olive oil then let it cool completely.
- Meanwhile, trim the ends off of the zucchini and chop them into small cubes. Add 1 tablespoon of olive to a pan on a medium heat and saute the zucchini until soft. Stir it often so it doesn’t brown too much (this should take around 10 minutes).
- Once softened, transfer the zucchini to a bowl and add the almonds, basil, garlic, lemon zest and juice and add a pinch of salt and pepper. Blitz with an immersion blender until super smooth. Taste for seasoning and add any salt if needed, set it aside to cool.
- Wipe the pan clean and add another drizzle of olive oil. Saute the shrimp on a high heat until pink and cooked through then set aside to cool.
- Add the cooled pasta to a large mixing bowl and add the sauce and shrimp. Stir until everything is combined in the sauce and serve.
Notes
- Although we like to serve this at room temperature as a pasta salad you can also serve it hot.
- Put in the fridge if not serving straight away. It'll keep well in the fridge for 2-3 days.
