In a skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
Add onion and cook until they are golden brown.
Add garlic and cook it for about 30 seconds.
Now it is time to add the diced tomato and shrimp.
Garnishing with salt and pepper.
Lower heat to medium-low and simmer for 5-7 minutes.
Add parsley and stir to combine everything really well.
While the sauce is cooking, prepare the zucchini noodles using a spiralizer. Using a knife, chop the ends off the zucchinis.
Cut the zucchinis in half. Using a spiralizer fitted with a shredder blade C, secure and spiralize the zucchini.
Use kitchen scissors to trim noodles as the noodles come out. If you don’t trim, your noodles will be very long. I prefer to trim because they’re easier to eat. Set the noodles aside.
After the sauce has cooked, toss in zucchini noodles using tongs and let cook for 3 minutes.
Garnishing with feta cheese.
Notes
Avoid buying super large zucchinis as they're more watery than smaller ones.
There's no need to peel the zucchini before you spiralize them. Just make sure to wash them beforehand.
If you use frozen shrimp for this recipe, just make sure it is fully thawed before cooking.
To store: I don't recommend storing this recipe for too long as the zucchini can become watery. Try to eat this recipe within 2 days of making it.
To reheat: You can reheat the zucchini noodles by gently tossing it in a skillet or microwaving it.
