Avocado Alfredo Zoodles with Shrimp

Happy Sunday lovelies!!

Ok, so I dove into another 2B Mindset recipe this weekend....

helllloooooooo!

Sooooo good! 

I love pasta but obviously pasta is NOT always the best choice to eat on a regular basis.

I know, I know, I LOVE a good pasta, but I have had zoodles in the past and

loved them as well. I did invest in a really good "spiralizer" aka Zoodler from Amazon.

That thing is a BEAST!! It was soooo easy AND quick to zoodle those guys!

This recipe was only for 2 servings, but I ended up zoodle-ing all of the zucchinis I had so they didn't go bad and modifying the recipe to at least 4 servings.

So the numbers here are based on 4 servings. I just put the excess zoodles in a ziploc bag for us to use this week for lunches, etc.

The sauce for this is BOMB!

Hopefully your people love this as much as my people did. We are definitely keeping this in the rotation.  If you give it a try, let me know how you like it. :)

INGREDIENTS:

2 medium avocado

1 cup plain Greek yogurt

Black pepper (divided and also added per taste)

Garlic Powder

Onion powder (divided)

Lemon juice

Raw shrimp (I used a whole bag of the xl size shrimp)

6-8 zucchinis (as you start spiralizing you can see how much you want to go with)

Shaved Parmesan Cheese

DIRECTIONS:

1. Mash up the avocado and combine it with the yogurt, 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder and lemon juice. For the lemon juice, we personally LOVE lemon juice and the recipe didn't call for it, so I added non measured, just by taste. Mix well and set aside.

2. Heat a large nonstick pan with just a bit of olive oil or cooking spray over medium heat. (my pans don't use cooking spray so I always just use a little olive oil)

3. Add shrimp. Season with 1/2 tsp pepper, 1/2 tsp garlic powder, 1/2 tsp onion powder and yep, I did squirt a little more lemon juice in there. Cook stirring frequently for a minute or two.

4. Add your zoodles, cook and stir frequently for about 2 to 3 minutes. Drain any excess liquid from the pan.

5. Add the avocado mixture stirring frequently, until heated through and shrimp are fully cooked. 

6. Plate up your beautiful creation and top with shaved parmesan. 

That's it!!! YUM!!!!!

Have a beautiful rest of your Sunday!!
