Recipe: Buttery Lemon Shrimp Zoodles

January 16, 2019Recipes
It’s fun to say, but even more fun to eat: ZOODLES! Try swapping out your standard spaghetti noodles for this non-starchy spiralized zucchini option. Luckily, you can find zucchini noodles pre-made in most produce sections, or consider getting a spiralizer yourself to make zucchini noodles at home. Pair with shredded carrots, which cook similarly & give additional color and flavor.
