Cut down on carbs by using zucchini, shredded in a spiral, instead of pasta. Quick and easy lunch or dinner in just 30 minutes.

Necessary products:

5-6 medium zucchini (about 2 and 1/2 kg)
3/4 teaspoon salt
1 ripe avocado
1 cup fresh basil
1/4 cup pistachios, unsalted
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil + 2 tbsp
3 cloves garlic, chopped
450 grams of raw shrimp, peeled
1-2 teaspoons mixed spices (celery salt, paprika and paprika)

Method of preparation:

Using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler, grate the zucchini into long thin strips, like spaghetti. Remove the seeds and do not use them. Put the grated zucchini in a colander with 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Allow them to drain for 15 to 30 minutes, then squeeze them lightly to remove excess water.

Mix the avocado, basil, pistachios, lemon juice, black pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt in a food processor or chopper and blend until the ingredients are fine. Add 1/4 cup olive oil and continue to blend until creamy.

Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped garlic and cook, stirring, for about 30 seconds. Add the shrimp and sprinkle with the spice mix. Stir often until the shrimp are cooked, ie for about 3-4 minutes. Then transfer them to a large bowl.

Add 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan. Pour the drained zucchini and cook, stirring for about 3 minutes.

Serve the prepared zucchini in the bowl with the shrimp, add the pesto and stir lightly to combine all the ingredients.

Have a good time!
