"Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes" - Maggie Smith
Winter recently realized that she forgot to visit and is making up for it and then some. Jonas, the blizzard, has everything closed and canceled and I've been unable to leave the house for some time now. Generally, after this time at home I'd be feeling some cabin fever, but in all honesty, I'm truly enjoying this time.
Winter break is an over-scheduled week. Everyone knows you're off so you have tons of plans, doctor's appointments, car appointments, teeth cleanings. It's quite exhausting. This has been the winter BREAK that I really needed and I'm thoroughly enjoying my own company. My daily hikes through 3 feet of snow to explore my area, digging my car out with a small dustpan, and so so much reading. On top of all of that, I'm really getting into my Whole30 this week because I have so much more time to experiment and treat myself.
Lemon Garlic Shrimp Noodle Bowl
Ingredients
1 zucchini, spiralized
3/4 cup frozen pre-cooked salad shrimp
1/2 bell pepper, sliced
1/2 lemon, juiced
1 tsp minced garlic (adjust this based on your tastes)
1 tbsp coconut oil
Lemon Pepper
Salt
Instructions
1. Using a spiralizer, cut zucchini into a noodle-like shape (I use the Vegetti and try not to giggle at the name)
2. Place coconut oil and garlic in wok and cook over medium high heat until your entire house smells of garlic
3. Lower heat to medium. Add shrimp and squeeze lemon over top. Add salt and lemon pepper and mix regularly.
4. When shrimp begins to cook through (remember it's frozen), add noodles and stir to coat with existing garlic and lemon mixture. Add bell pepper last to preserve some of the crunch.
5. Cook noodles until desired texture is reached (soft or al dente) about 5-7 minutes
6. Serve and enjoy
Note: zucchini is a very wet vegetable, so this dish creates a lot of excess liquid that you may not want to serve with the noodles. I poured the extra into a jar and used it as a salad dressing the following day (added oil). It turned out quite well
