21 Day Fix Shrimp with Zoodles (zucchini noodles) is a quick, healthy, low-carb dinner—perfect for busy weeknights. This recipe is easy, satisfying, and keto-friendly.
I love weeknight meals that come together fast, are nutritious, and taste better than takeout. Zoodles are one of my favorite shortcuts: no boiling required, just spiralize and sauté. Top them with quick-cooking spicy lemon shrimp and you have a dinner that feels special without the fuss. If you prefer, swap the shrimp for ground turkey or diced chicken.
Do you have a spiralizer yet?
A good spiralizer is worth the investment. It makes zoodles (and spiralized potatoes, carrots, apples, or squash) in seconds and expands your quick-dinner options. Once you have one, try other zoodle recipes like pad thai-style zoodles or tomatoes, basil, and spinach for a meatless option.
If you’re following the 21 Day Fix, this fits nicely into that plan and can be adjusted for portion control. It’s also an excellent option for low-carb or keto eating and works well for Weight Watchers when served without cheese.
