My recipes are meant to help everyone enjoy more fruits, vegetables, whole grains and beans. Diabetics and people who are trying to lose weight need to avoid refined grains, sugar and calorie-dense foods such as added fats, meat and eggs, so I don’t use them. Please enjoy this healthy “pasta”
2 Servings (recipe can easily be doubled for more servings)
Ingredients 3-4 tablespoons olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
4 anchovy filets (optional)
1/2 pound peeled shrimp
1/2 cup chopped onions
1/2 red bell pepper, cut into small pieces
2 medium zucchini, “spiralized” into pasta (see note below) or cut into matchstick strips
Fresh oregano to taste, or about 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
Freshly ground black pepper to taste
Shredded parmesan cheese (optional) Directions
Heat the olive oil in a skillet, stir in the garlic and saute for a few minutes until it is soft. Add the anchovies (if using) and mash them with the back of a fork or spoon until they are blended into the oil. Stir in the shrimp and cook, stirring, until the shrimp is pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set it aside….
