Ingredients
Servings
4
- 1 lb (450g) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1/2 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Instructions
-
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
-
Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning. Cook shrimp until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove from heat and set aside.
-
In a medium saucepan over low heat, combine heavy cream, cream cheese, and Parmesan cheese. Stir continuously until smooth and creamy, about 5 minutes. Season with salt, pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
-
Add spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet with shrimp and toss gently to combine.
-
Pour the creamy Alfredo sauce over the shrimp and zucchini noodles, stirring gently to coat evenly.
-
Transfer the mixture into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly on top.
-
Bake for 20-25 minutes, until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and zucchini is tender but not soggy.
-
Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before garnishing with fresh parsley and serving.
