Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium Zucchini (spiralized into 'zoodles')
- 12 oz Shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 oz Crab meat (fresh or canned, drained)
- 4 oz Fat-free cream cheese
- 1 cup Unsweetened almond milk
- 1 oz Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 1 tsp Olive oil
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Ground black pepper
- 0.5 tsp Dried parsley
- 1 slice Lemon wedge (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Begin by spiralizing the zucchinis into thin noodles (zoodles). Set them aside on a paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.
Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the shrimp to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the shrimp is pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium-low and add the fat-free cream cheese and almond milk. Stir continuously until the cream cheese melts and forms a creamy sauce.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, salt, ground black pepper, and dried parsley. Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes.
Add the crab meat to the sauce and mix well. Then gently fold the cooked shrimp back into the skillet.
In a separate skillet, lightly sauté the zoodles over medium heat for 2-3 minutes, until slightly tender but not mushy.
Divide the sautéed zoodles among serving plates and spoon the seafood Alfredo sauce on top.
Garnish with an optional squeeze of lemon and additional parsley if desired.
