Ingredients

1 lb zucchini noodles store bought or home cut
1 jar AnnaMaria’s Torino Tomato Sauce This recipe also works well with either our Milano or Pinerolo Tomato Sauces
2 garlic cloves sliced
1 shallot sliced
3 tbsp olive oil extra virgin
1 lb jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
salt and pepper to taste
grated parmesan cheese optional

Instructions

Slice the shallots and garlic. Chop the parsley. Season both sides of the shrimp with salt and pepper. Prepare your zucchini noodles, if needed.
Heat up the olive oil in a nonstick pan. Toss in the shallots and garlic. Let them sauté for about 3 minutes until they being to soften.
Add your shrimp, cooking each side for about 2 minutes. You may want to cook the shrimp in two batches so they don’t over crowd the pan and can cook evenly. Once they are cooked, remove the shrimp and set them aside.
Add the zucchini noodles to the remaining shallots, garlic and olive oil. Season with a bit of salt and pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes. Since zucchini is 96% water, overcooking it will release a lot of excess juice and leave the dish watery, so with this dish, less is more. The goal is to just warm up and soften the zucchini and give it a chance to soak in the flavor of the other ingredients.
Once the zucchini is cooked, set it aside and add in 1 jar of AnnaMaria’s Torino Tomato sauce to the pan. Warming the sauce should only take a minute or two and then it’s time to plate your dish! Spoon some Torino onto your delicious zucchini noodles, arrange your shrimp and top with grated parmesan cheese. Healthy, easy, and delicious!
