Pesto Shrimp Zoodles

This recipe with zucchini noodles tossed in pesto and topped with Italian seasoned shrimp and tomatoes will have your taste buds asking for more. It’s a refreshing dinner that won’t weigh you down.

So, my kids even love this Pesto Shrimp Zoodles, which is a huge plus for me as they can be picky. They may not like it as much as actual noodles but whenever I make zoodles for myself they always want to eat with mommy.

Furthermore, you can use store-bought pesto or you can make your own. Also, you can make my homemade pesto if you prefer that over the store-bought ones.

    Came out ok. I used my own pesto and added more garlic, salt and pepper. Not a fan of Italian seasonings ( oregano).
    Will cook again!!

    Tasty and super quick, especially since I had spiralized zucchini and pesto, as well as already peeled and deveined shrimp!

    Hi I would like to try this recipe but I have frozen cooked shrimp instead of raw shrimp, will that still be okay?

    This is AMAZING! Thank you so much for such a tasty meal. I used the pearl size mozzarella cheese. I am surprised there are no comments.
