Garlic Shrimp Alfredo with Zoodles
Possibly one of the most comforting, craveable pasta dishes of all time, shrimp alfredo (or lobster alfredo or chicken alfredo or just-noodles-and-sauce alfredo) is a cream-heavy, butter-slicked, carb-rich dish punctuated by nutty-salty-sharp parmesan cheese and speckled with freshly cracked black pepper. A sprinkle of chopped Italian parsley offsets the thick, dairy-rich whiteness.
For those who don’t do dairy, those who reject refined carbs from pasta, or both, the satisfaction of twirling a bundle of velvety, unctuous, thickly sauced noodles around a fork is out of the question. But, it doesn’t have to be. Our version of shrimp alfredo comes together quickly and easily with our No-Dairy Roasted Garlic Alfredo Sauce, spiralized zucchini noodles, fast pan-seared spiced shrimp, sliced grape tomatoes for a pop of color and a burst of acidity, and a liberal amount of chopped fresh parsley for an herby edge. Now you can have a fast and fantastic classic that’s lower carb and perfect if you don’t tolerate dairy well. Even if you don’t have any issues with digesting dairy, our modern version of the traditional alfredo pasta dish won’t sit like a brick in your gut. You get the same creamy richness with the added interest of caramelized roasted garlic, but without the heaviness.
