Shrimp Puttanesca with Zoodles (One Pot Meal)
Shrimp Puttanesca with Zoodles is a healthy weekday meal. This recipe is made all in one pot and comes together very quickly!
Ingredients
- 3 medium zucchini spiralized
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 lb shrimp
- salt and pepper
- 1 tsp Calabrian Chili paste* or 1/2 tsp dried red pepper flakes
- 1/4 cup Kalamata olives, roughly chopped
- 1 tbsp capers, roughly chopped
- 20 oz jar of pasta sauce, 20 OZ
- 1 tbsp chopped parsley optional
Instructions
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in In a large sauté skillet over medium heat.
- Add zucchini, season lightly with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes. Until zucchini is slightly softened but still firm.
- Remove Zucchini from pan. I separate the zucchini right into 4 serving bowls.
- Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan. Add shrimp, 1/2 tsp chili paste (or 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes). Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook shrimp until pink, about 30 seconds - 2 minutes on the first side. The cook time will be dependent on the size of your shrimp. My shrimp was very small and it only took about 30 seconds. *
- Flip shrimp and cook another 30 seconds.
- Remove shrimp from pan, separating between serving bowls.
- Add the remaining 1/2 tsp Calabrian chili paste to the pan (or 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes), olives, and capers.
- Cook for 30 seconds. Add jarred sauce. Stir sauce and heat until simmering.
- Top the shrimp and zoodles with sauce.
- Top each bowl with chopped parsley.
Notes
*Calabrian chili paste is spicy. You can add less or omit the chili if you do not want a spicy sauce.
*Shrimp cooks very quickly so keep an eye on it. The shrimp is done when it turns pink. Be careful not to over cook as it can turn rubbery in texture.
