Lemon Dill Shrimp and Zucchini Noodles

Lemon Dill Shrimp and Zucchini Noodles

Lemon Dill Shrimp and Zucchini Noodles is a light, fresh, Low Carb, Pescatarian, Whole 30, Dairy and Gluten Free dish. It an easy skillet meal and ready in 20 minutes.

Lemon Dill Shrimp and Zucchini Noodles is the first time I made a dish with zucchini noodles other than putting them under spaghetti sauce.  It was delicious!  We all liked it, even one son I was not sure would.

I got this recipe from inspiralized and made some changes (of course, or I wouldn’t be me!).  

I used a 12 oz bag of small shrimp because that was what I had and it was great; bite sized shrimp and plenty of them.

I also almost always used the bottled minced garlic instead of mincing my own; it is just easier.  

I put in capers like the recipe said and even though I love capers, I would omit them the next time.  With the lemon juice and dill, the capers just seemed too much to us.  I will leave them in the recipe in case you want them.  

I also used dry dill because that is what I had; it was January.

Did you know You can Freeze Zoodles? They are so great to have in the freezer and pull out when needed without having to wash the zoodle maker every time! 🙂 

Tools for this recipe

I used these kitchen tools to make this recipe. The right tools do make the job easier!

I got a new Veggetti Pro for Christmas and this is the first recipe I tried with it. Before, I had a little hand held one and although it worked, this was MUCH easier.

My lemon/citrus squeezer is another item I am happy to have and I use it often. This one works very well.
