Tequila Lime Shrimp Zoodles

is a simple, fresh and flavorful way to prepare shrimp. When making this recipe, your top priority is to avoid overcooking.

This easy shrimp recipe is ready super-fast, and the recipe’s flavor combination is incredibly fresh and flavorful.

This is one of my favorite weeknight dinners, and also one of my favorite ways to prepare shrimp.

This tangy shrimp is a smart way to cut carbs without sacrificing flavor. If you don’t have a spiralizer, use thinly julienned zucchini to get a similar effect.
