Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

4 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 pound jumbo shrimp, cleaned
1/2 medium onion, finely diced
3 cloves garlic, smashed
2 teaspoons chile flakes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc
One 16-ounce store-bought package zucchini noodles
1 cup multicolored grape tomatoes, halved
2 lemons, zested
2/3 cup shredded Parmesan
6 to 8 fresh basil leaves

Steps:

Heat the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over a medium heat. When the butter has melted, add the shrimp, onion, garlic, chile flakes, salt and pepper, then cook until the onions are translucent and the shrimp are opaque, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the white wine, then allow it to boil and reduce slightly, 1 to 2 minutes.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet. Cook until the zucchini is tender, about 2 more minutes. Add the tomatoes and lemon zest to the skillet, then toss to combine. Sprinkle over the Parmesan and garnish with the basil leaves. Remove the smashed garlic cloves and serve straight from the skillet.

SAUTéED SHRIMP AND ZUCCHINI - WW 4 POINTSPLUS

Sautéed Shrimp and Zucchini - Ww 4 Pointsplus image

Based on a recipe from www.weightwatchers.com. It says, "Keep a bag of large frozen shrimp on hand for this quick and easy meal. The juices from the tomatoes add a wonderful flavor to the sauce." You can also try this with fresh basil instead of, or in addition to, the oregano (just stir it in right at the end). I recommend grating some lemon zest over top and/or sprinkle with fresh lemon juice. I serve this over Tofu Shirataki Spaghetti shaped noodles.

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil, divided
1 medium zucchini, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 lb shrimp, large-size, peeled and deveined
1 cup grape tomatoes, cut in half
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground (to taste)
1 1/2 teaspoons garlic, minced
1/4 cup water
1 lemon, optional for zesting and juicing

Steps:

In a large nonstick skillet, add 2 teaspoons oil and place over medium-high heat. Place zucchini in pan in a single layer and increase heat to high; cook until bottoms are golden, about 2 minutes. Flip zucchini over and cook the other side until also golden, about 2 more minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove zucchini to a plate, keep warm and set aside.
Heat remaining teaspoon oil to the same skillet. Add shrimp; sauté 1 to 2 minutes. Add tomatoes, oregano, salt and pepper and sauté until shrimp are almost just cooked through, about 1 minute. Stir in garlic and water and sauté, stirring to loosen up any browned bits from the pan bottom, until shrimp are cooked through and tomatoes have rendered some juices, about 1 to 2 minutes more.
Return zucchini to skillet; toss to combine and serve. Yields about 1 ¼ cups per serving.
