Low Calorie Shrimp Aflredo Pasta
How many of you love shrimp alfredo pasta? I know I do, so I wanted to make a low calorie and low carb version of it. Of course, carbs are not the enemy and you can have pasta if you'd like, I just prefer to volume eat with tons of veggies to stay full. I substituted the noodles for zoodles (zuchinni noodles) but feel free to use any pasta you prefer such as miracle noodles, banza pasta, spaghetti squash, etc. I love meal prepping this for the next few days as well so I can grab and go.
- 1 Zuchinni or Pack of 1 Cup of Zoodles
- 4 ounces Shrimp
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 3 tablespoons Minced Garlic
- 1 1/2 cups Heavy Whipping Cream
- 1/2 cups Grated Parmesan
- 1/2 teaspoons Salt
- 1/2 teaspoons Pepper
- 1/2 teaspoons Garlic Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Onion Powder
- 1/2 teaspoons Paprika
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Heat the heavy whipping cream in a pan.
Mix in cheese, butter, salt and pepper.
Simmer on low for 5 minutes.
Cook zoodles in the saucepan for 2-5 minutes on medium heat.
Add oil, shrimp and seasonings to a saucepan and cook on each side for 2-3 minutes.
Combine in a bowl or on a plate and enjoy!
