Zucchini noodles with Tomato Sauce and Shrimp
These Zucchini Noodles with Tomato Sauce and Shrimp are perfect. They are a quick and easy meal for a healthy and delicious dinner! Enjoy!
I am not the feeling so good today. I couldn’t sleep well because I had a lot of pain in my sciatic nerve. Since Tuesday afternoon, I’ve been feeling pain, but my husband gave me a massage that helped and I used a hot tube, which brought me a lot of tension release. I also will do some yoga excise later cause it always helps. I’ve been doing yoga for almost a year now and since then, I haven’t had any sciatic pain. However, the past two months has been too busy for me. So, I stopped yoga for a while and now all I think about is how much I regret stopping. But, I will go back!! Live and learn 😉
One of the two things that I love eat during summer is shrimp and of course zucchini. I know summer is almost gone but officially on the calendar summer ends on September 21st, right? Though in Canada, the beginning of September is already chilly 😉
So, this dish is still perfect for your dinner summer time. After seeing so many beautiful zucchini noodles dishes all over the internet, I got inspired and bought a Paderno Spiral Vegetable Slicer on Amazon. Even though summer is almost done, I am not putting my spiralizer away. You can spiralize so many different types of veggies in the fall like sweet potato, potato, butternut squash, apple, and so on. I am still very new when it comes to spiralize veggies but I already can say I am loving it. These veggie noodles make any dish looks beautiful and they are so healthy. Love, Love, Love!
Also, when you use Paderno Spiral Vegetable Slicer, it is very easy and quick to prepare any meal. For this recipe, I just sautéed the zucchini quickly because I prefer them almost raw and topped with my awesome tomato sauce, shrimp, and cherry tomato. Let’s not forget the cherry tomatoes because summer tomatoes are definitely the best!! I hope you enjoy this light and flavorful dish!

Zucchini noodles with Tomato Sauce and Shrimp
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchinis — Blade C, noodles trimmed
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 big shrimps
- salt and ground black pepper — to taste
- 2 garlic cloves — minced
- ½ cup onions — diced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes
- ½ cup homemade tomato sauce
- ½ cup cherry tomato
Instructions
- Using a knife, chop the ends off the zucchinis. Cut the zucchinis in half. Use 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.
- In a large saucepan, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Add shrimp, salt, and pepper. Stir occasionally and cook until pink and set aside.
- In the same skillet add garlic, onions and red pepper flakes. Cook until onions are golden brown.
- Add the zucchini noodles and cook for about 3 minutes. If you cook them any longer than that, the zucchinis can be a little soggy. Don’t forget to stir occasionally.
- When the zucchini noodles are ready, place them on two plates, top with homemade tomato sauce, shrimp, and cherry tomatoes! Enjoy your meal!

God, I know this pain. My sciatic nerve has been bothering me for the past 6 months. I finally went to the doctor and found out that I have a herniated disc. So now I’ve been going to the chiropractor 3 times a week, which is not cheap! 🙁
Love the zucchini noodles though! I still haven’t tried to transform zucchini into noodles. But I will one day! 🙂
I hope the chiropractor works for you, Olivia. Yoga also is a good option to consider. It works very well for me. Thanks for stopping by!
Oh no! I’m sorry to hear that you are having pain, that’s not fun. I hope it improves soon! This is a beautiful dish – the zucchini noodles look lovely and those shrimp are huge! Wow!
Thanks for your comment, my dear!
I’ve heard sciatic pain is the worst – I’m so sorry to hear the pain is back 🙁 It can be hard to make time for yoga and stretching when life gets busy, but I’m glad you’re taking all the necessary steps to get the pain under control.
This noodle bowl?! I just want to slurp the whole thing up…LOVE me some skrimps!
Have a fabulous weekend and feel better soon, Olivia!
Thanks for your sweet comment, my friend Ju! I am doing much better 😉
I don’t have a spiralizer, but I use a mandolin to get those long strands. This recipe looks delicious! Love that tomato sauce.

I’ve never tried doing this to veggies, but it;s such a great idea! I’m not sure what hubby would say, but so long as there was bread on the side … 😉
I love the simple tomato sauce … you can’t beat that in my view!

Hope you are feeling better! I did yoga religiously for about a year. but quit when my son got sick last year. I really need to get back to it. My body feels so much older physically since I stopped.
Spiralizers are so much fun. This zucchini topped with shrimp looks fantastic. Pinning!
I am feeling much better, Christin. Thanks a lot 😉
I hope you feel better soon Olivia!! Hopefully the yoga and all the other activities really help. You’re still doing such a great job at making delicious meals despite all of that though – those noodles look so good, and complement the entire dish!
