Oh yes. Y’all. This was so good! I made this low-carb shrimp scampi for dinner on Sunday night with my friend (eaten as we binge-watched The West Wing). Using my brand-new spiralizer – or, as I like to call it, my new “zoodler” – I made this one-pot dish in well under 20 minutes… making this the perfect dinner to have after a hectic day while still keeping that “new year, new me!” New Year’s Resolution in effect.
So yeah, this recipe is meat-free, low-carb, low-cal, generally healthy, and delicious!
Best part of this recipe? It calls for wine. So you know what that means: you pretty much have to drink while you cook (and nobody can judge you for it!). It’s a win-win-wine situation!
