Shrimps & Zucchini Noodles
- 2 medium zucchini

- 4 garlic cloves
- 1 tbsp butter
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 8 oz large raw peeled shrimp
- 1 tsp fine sea salt
- 1 tsp smoked paprika
- ¼ tsp fine black pepper
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup lemon juice
- 1 tbsp minced fresh basil
- 2 tsp minced fresh oregano
- 2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Instructions
Make The Tahini Sauce
- In a small bowl, combine the sauce ingredients then set aside.
Shrimps & Zucchini Noodles
- Using a regular vegetable peeler simply peel thin strips of zucchinis.
- Dice the shallots into very fine into small pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.
- In a medium skillet, heat oil and butter over medium-low heat. Add diced shallots, and cook them for 1 minute. They should become soft and translucent.
- Mix in garlic, and cook for 20 seconds only.
- Next, add shrimp, salt, smoked paprika, and black pepper into the pan. Mix well, and cook shrimps for 30 seconds on each side, a total of 1 minute. Don’t cook them completely as they should still have grayish translucent color.
- Add heat to medium, and gently pour the chicken broth with lemon juice into the pan. Bring to boil, and cook for 3 more minutes. Then remove the shrimps from the heat. Now they must be orange in color and ready to eat. Remove the shrimps without the sauce from the pan. Set them aside, covered.
- Place zucchini noodles in the same pan with leftover sauce. Sprinkle them with herbs, and gently stir. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and cook noodles for 1 minute, or until just warmed through. Don't overcook them. The zucchini noodles should be slightly crunchy with a tender bite.
Serving
- Serve the zucchini noodles topped with shrimps, sprinkled with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, and drizzled with Tahini sauce
