Greek Shrimp and Zucchini Noodles

I love Greek flavors and could eat Greek food once a week for the rest of my life and die a very happy woman! This dish is flavorful and fairly easy to put together and makes for a good healthy weeknight dinner.

You will need zucchini, Sun dried Tomatoes, Garlic powder, Oregano, Kalamata Olives (pits removed unless you want to break a tooth), Feta Cheese and some juicy Shrampi’s also know as shrimp.

A vegetable spiralizer is ideal but not necessary to make a zoodle – zucchini noodle. If you don’t have one then cut the zucchini in half length wise and then slice into 1/8 in strips, then turn those on thier size and cut into 1/8 inch strips again. Wah-la! you have zucchini noodles without a spiralizer. Granted they are not as pretty or as twisty but they do taste the same.

Cook the shrimp in a little Olive oil, Garlic powder and Salt and pepper Then set aside.

So once you have your zucchini- noodle-ized (now I’m just making up words) you can heat a pan over medium heat and add some olive oil, zucchini, Sun dried tomatoes, Garlic Powder, Salt, Oregano and stir until the zucchini is fairly softened. About 5 minutes. Reduce your heat and add pitted Kalamata Olives, Feta Cheese, and cooked Shrimp. Squeeze some fresh lemon over the top before serving and enjoy!
