Lemon Ginger Shrimp and Zoodles

Citrus and summer go hand in hand in my book.  I know it isn't technically summer yet but the weather in South Alabama has felt like it is the middle of August.  I'm sure if you were to talk to locals they would tell you how great the weather has been.  For this Minnesota boy it's a different story.  Temps were in the 80's everyday and the humidity was above 90% everyday.  That's hot!  

Being in South Alabama we had the benefit of getting some really good shrimp and it was cheap.  This has definitely been one of the things that I've enjoyed about traveling so far, local food!  Getting to eat food that was picked, farmed or fished recently is so fun and adds so much more flavor.  We've tried to take in local markets wherever we are and get some fresh veggies and proteins, then fill in the gaps with some food from the big box stores.  

I made this while in Gulf Shores, Alabama and it was super light and perfect for a warm day.  We hope you enjoy it!!  If you have a shellfish allergy you could easily leave out the shrimp and do a piece of baked whitefish.  

Ingredients

  • 3/4 lb of raw shrimp
  • 1 large carrot cut into matchsticks
  • 1 red bell pepper cut into matchsticks
  • 1 medium onion cut into matchsticks
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1" piece of ginger, peeled and minced
  • 1 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup broth of your choice or water
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 3 small zucchini cut into zoodles using  spiralizer
  • 1 tbsp dried parsley or 1/4 cup of fresh parsley, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Directions

  1. Prep all of your veggies ahead of time.  Once you start cooking it goes pretty quick.  
  2. In a wok or large skillet add the oil then carrot, onion, pepper, ginger and cook for 5 minutes or until the onion starts getting a little translucent.  
  3. Add the garlic, parsley and shrimp and cook for an additional 3 minutes.  Stir regularly.  
  4. Add broth, lemon juice, zoodles and toss for 2 minutes until everything is coated and the zoodles start to soften.  
  5. Season and serve!  There will likely be some liquid in the bottom of the pan, feel free to drizzle your food with this or let it be.
