For the zoodles

  • 3 zucchini, spiralized or julienned
  • Sea salt to taste
  • Olive oil for sautéing

     

    For the pesto

  • 1 garlic clove

DIRECTIONS

  1. Blend all the pesto ingredients in a food processor. In a large sauté pan, heat some olive oil and lightly sauté the zucchini noodles.
  2. Toss together the noodles and pesto. Add the protein of your choice on top, then serve. I love using shrimp!
