This 21 Day Fix Shrimp with Zoodles dinner (zucchini noodles) is a quick and healthy, low carb meal – perfect for those busy nights! This post contains affiliate links for products I’m obsessed with.
Confession # 17 – I love a weeknight meal that’s quick, healthy, and tastes better than take-out from my local favs. I need more of these recipes in my life so I’m not tempted to to hit the drive through.
That’s one of the reasons I LOVE zoodles.
No need to wait for pasta to boil. Just a few spins of the Veggetti
or my new Paderno
Spiralizer and dinner is almost ready. And topped with quick cooking spicy lemon shrimp, you have a weeknight meal that feels downright special. If you don’t have shrimp, this would be delicious with ground turkey or diced chicken, too!
Do you have a spiralizer yet?
You seriously should invest in one asap. The Veggetti is a great beginner tool , but the Paderno is great for spiraling all the things.
It’s seriously amazing and one of my favorite kitchen tools. We spiralize everything now – potatoes, carrots, apples, butternut squash.
When you get yours, be sure you check out my other zoodle dishes like my Chicken Pad Thai Zoodles and my Zoodles with Tomatoes, Basil, and Spinach which is an awesome meatless dinner. I also love to use my spiralizer for

Would this be good warmed up? No one else in my house would eat this but I’d love to prep it for lunches for myself. I’ve never made seafood (again I’m the only one who eats it) so I’m not sure about the leftovers. Thoughts?

It would work! Shrimp cooks very quickly and might get a little tough when reheated in a microwave, but it would be ok.

I found your website last night and I’m LOVING all the recipes. I have a daughter that is gluten and dairy free, I’m doing 21 day fix, and my husband and two other kids are pretty picky. Your website has been a godsend!
And bonus, my local grocery store sells fresh cut zoodles. I don’t even have to do it myself (I’m that lazy).

That’s AWESOME! I am so happy it’s helping! And yay for the modern day produce section, right? <3

How many servings does this make, and what is the container count??
Nancylynn says
My word – this post needs major updating!! It serves 2 – and the containers are 1 RED, 1 1/2 GREEN. If you top with cheese, measure in your blue!
Diane M says
Thank you – I can’t wait to try this tonight!

my husband and I just started the program today and I made your turkey quinoa casserole. It was amazing so much that my 4.5 lately picky eater loved it too! I also made your summer frittata and cant wait to taste it tomorrow. Can you tell me how many containers this shrimp recipe is?
Thanks for all your amazing recipes.

Thank you for the great note! I especially love when picky kids eat my recipes – having a very picky kid myself I know what a victory it is! As far as the shrimp and zoodles, I usually measure the veggies in my green, then measure the shrimp in the red! If I add parmesean cheese, I measure that in the blue. Does that make sense? Let me know! Thanks again :).
