Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles

My husband and I decided to jump on the Veggie Spiralizer band wagon and see if it was as good as we had been hearing.  We thought we better give it a try with an easy Summer recipe that we could use  already pre-spiraled zucchini before jumping in and buying the spiralizer. Plus, zucchini is everywhere right now!

Should we get a spiralizer? Do you use yours?

We made this super easy and delicious shrimp dish.  Since we bought the zucchini already noodled – it was a breeze to make! We are not huge fans of cilantro, so we substituted dill.  It is light and fresh, perfect for the extremely hot evening we made it. We both really liked it and I found a cookbook with more recipes to try if and when we get a veggie spiralizer.
