Cut some carbs and use spiralized zucchini in place of noodles in this zesty pesto pasta dish recipe.
Top with Cajun-seasoned shrimp to complete this quick and easy dinner.
Stop when you reach the seeds in the middle (seeds make the noodles fall apart).
Place the zucchini “noodles” in a colander and toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt.
Let drain for 15 to 30 minutes, then gently squeeze to remove any excess water.
Pulse until finely chopped.
Add 1/4 cup oil and process until smooth.
Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds.
Transfer to a large bowl.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan.
Add the drained zucchini noodles and gently toss until hot, about 3 minutes.
Transfer to the bowl, add the pesto and gently toss to combine.
