How to Prepare Your Garlic Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles Recipe

Ingredients

• 2 Medium zucchinis or 1 package spiralized zucchini 
• 3/4 pound of Trifecta shrimp or ¾ pound cooked shrimp 
• 1 teaspoon avocado oil 
• 3 tablespoons garlic 
• 2 tablespoons champagne vinegar
• 1 tablespoon honey 
• ½ lemon, zested and juiced
• ¼ cup parsley, chopped 
• ¼ cup grape tomatoes, sliced 
• 2 tablespoon toasted sunflower seeds
• 3 tablespoons goat cheese, crumbled or feta cheese
• ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
• Salt & pepper to taste 

Kitchen Tools

• Knife and cutting board 
• Microplane (zester)
• Medium Bowl and Tongs 
• Saute pan (non-stick preferred)
• Meal Prep Containers 

Step 1: Prepare Zucchini Noodles and Ingredients 

Spiralize your zucchini or set aside a package of store-bought spiralized zucchini.

Remove the Trifecta Shrimp from the container and rinse, set aside. 

For the garlic use a microplane or grater instead of trying to cut it up with your knife. This is a great trick when a recipe calls for a lot of garlic! 

Measure out all of the additional ingredients, feel free to add additional vegetables or more garlic depending on what you like! 

Substitute grilled shrimp, poached shrimp, or raw shrimp if you are not using our Trifecta Meal Prep Shrimp. Note if you are using raw shrimp this recipe will take a bit longer! 

Step 2: Heat Non-Stick Skillet and Saute Ingredients 

Heat a non-stick skillet or saute pan over medium heat and add 1 teaspoon avocado oil and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes or until aromatic, add in the Trifecta shrimp and cook for 2 more minutes. 

If you are using raw shrimp, cook for 6-8 minutes until opaque and cooked through. 

Add in the vinegar and parsley mixture, cook for 30 seconds.

Then add in 2 tablespoons goat cheese (reserve the rest for garnish). Stir in goat cheese to make a tasty garlicky sauce. 

Need a dairy free sauce? Substitute ¼ cup of coconut yogurt for a creamy dairy-free garlic sauce. 

Step 3: Mix in Noodle and Tomatoes 

Add in the tomatoes and zucchini noodles, cook for 1-2 minutes until noodles are coated with the sauce.
