Ingredients:

2 zucchinis

1 Tablespoon olive oil, divided

½ pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/8 teaspoon Sea salt

1/4 cup onion, chopped

1 teaspoon garlic, minced

¾ teaspoon fresh basil, minced

1 fresh cayenne pepper, minced

1 Tablespoon tomato paste*

1 cup tomatoes, diced

2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

Wash the zucchini and cut a thin slice off the bottom of each one so they wouldn’t roll around on the cutting board. Place the zucchini flat-side down on the cutting board and use a julienne peeler to cut ribbons (noodles) of zucchini. Keep the top on to keep the squash steady. Set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.

Sprinkle shrimp with salt; add shrimp to pan. Cook 2 minutes on each side or until shrimp are done. Transfer shrimp to a bowl. Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in pan.

Add onion, minced garlic, basil, and cayenne pepper to pan; sauté 1 minute. Add tomato paste and tomatoes; bring to a boil. Cook 3 minutes or just until sauce begins to thicken. Return shrimp to pan; cook 1 minute or until thoroughly heated. Add parsley to the pan, stirring well to combine. Serve over pasta.

*Freeze any remaining tomato paste in an ice cube tray in Tablespoon proportions. When frozen, pop the tomato cubes out of the tray and store in a freezer safe container for later use.
