Shrimp Zucchini Linguine
I’ve made this zucchini linguine recipe a few times a few times, as I’m trying to reduce the amount of carbs i’m taking in. You don’t need a spiralizer to make the zucchini linguine - but cutting the zucchini in fine strips you can get the perfect width for the recipe.
You can throw this dish together in less than 20 minutes start-to-finish so it’s perfect for when you’re short on time. Unlike normal linguine, the zucchini strips take less than 5 minutes to cook!

Ingredients
- 1 large zucchini
- 2 teaspoons of butter
- 3 cloves of garlic, peeled and chopped
- 1/2 green chilli, deseeded and finely chopped
- 250g raw shrimp
- Juice of 1/2 a lemon
- 1/4 cup of vegetable stock
- 10g parsley, finely chopped
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
- 2 tsp vegetarian Parmesan
Method
- Cut the zucchini in half vertically and lay each half flat-side down on a chopping board. Now, cut the zucchini halves a further 3 times vertically to get it into thinner, long strips. Now all you need to do is cut these wide strips into thinner, linguine-like ones and they're all ready. Place these to one side.
- Place a large skillet pan on medium-heat high and add the butter, garlic, chilli and shrimp. Mix everything together and fry for 1-2 minutes until the shrimp go pink.
- Add the lemon juice, vegetable stock, parsley, zucchini, salt and pepper, then give it all a good stir. Cook everything for a further 3-4 minutes then remove from the heat.
- Serve up the dish with a sprinkle of Parmesan and parsley.

It is delicious, Iove your website. I was looking for this kind of recipes, tasty, easy and meat free. I love asian food, so I definitely adore your recipes.
I've made this twice. This is sooo good and my husband loves it! It makes for a perfect meal prep lunch. When we want something a bit heavier we add linguine; a great way to get some veggies in.
