Craving shrimp scampi? Prep for the week ahead for a low-carb, quick, easy and HEALTHY meal using zucchini noodles!
We’re officially in May.
Summer begins on June 20th.
Which means we’re getting really close to bikini season.
So I’ve put down the donuts.
No wait.
I’ve just put down one of the donuts.
And instead.
I’ve picked this up.
Zucchini noodles!
With a garlic butter sauce.
DUH.
But don’t worry.
I added more garlic, and made it a teensy bit healthier with less butter and a bit of olive oil.
You can’t tell the difference.
And that freshly grated Parmesan on top is LIFE, guys.

Will have to try this recipe
Do you just put the containes
in the oven at 350 to reheat?
The containers are not oven-safe. You can reheat on the stovetop (sans container of course) or the microwave.
How long in the microwave to reheat a standard serving, you think?
It’s hard to say – it really depends on the microwave settings. But I would start at 90 seconds and increase at 30 second intervals until heated through. Hope that helps!
If you put shrimp in it, I will eat it. Love this dish, because its made out of all my favorites.
