Ingredients

  • 3 to 6 zucchini or summer squash
  • 1 package coconut rice instant/90 second microwave style
  • 2 cps shrimp clean and deveined, fresh or thawed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado or
  • sea salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Thoroughly wash the vegetables before transforming them into noodles.
  • Heat a large nonstick pan to medium and add the avocado oil. Give the oil a few extra seconds to heat before adding in the noodles. Cover and allow noodles to cook for a few minutes before stirring and adding in the instant coconut rice.
  • The rice will cook perfectly in the liquid from the vegetables and create a hint of a creamy texture. Add in a little sea salt and pepper.
  • Cook until the vegetable noodles are tender and the rice is cooked through, this is typically about 6 to 8 minutes total depending on the size of the pan and how many noodles being made at a time.
  • They hold up well to being over cooked and are quite nice when al dente so you can’t go wrong with how long they cook for.
  • Plate the noodles and add a little more oil to the pan. Toss in the fresh/thawed and clean shrimp.
  • Cook on medium for about 2 minutes per side or until they have transitioned from being translucent to being white with brighter orange lines and are slightly golden.
  • Top the noodles with the shrimp and serve right away.
