SHRIMP WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES

Provided by Ree Drummond : Food Network

Categories main-dish

Time 20m

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.

Tips:

- To save time, use pre-cooked shrimp. If using raw shrimp, cook them before assembling the tostadas. - If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp and zucchini in a skillet over medium-high heat. - For a vegetarian version of this recipe, omit the shrimp and add extra zucchini or other vegetables, such as bell peppers or onions. - Serve the tostadas immediately, while the shrimp and zucchini are still warm. - For a more flavorful tostada, use a homemade salsa or guacamole.

Conclusion:

These shrimp and zucchini tostadas are an easy and delicious meal that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. They're also a great way to use up leftover shrimp or zucchini. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and satisfying meal that the whole family will enjoy.
