Gluten-Free Garlic Basil Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles

Simple Zucchini Noodles That Taste Better Than Pasta

Zucchini noodles are going to become a staple in your home.  They are simple to make and they are a healthy substitute for pasta. Plus, they are gluten-free.

Today in the kitchen I have my best fried Sally joining me for our new series “Two Dames in The Kitchen.” Sally is an amazing cook and what’s better than cooking with your BFF?  If you have not seen our first episode where we made sweet potato spaghetti using this spiralizer, make sure to watch the video for another simple hot and healthy dinner.

Today we are using a simple kitchen tool that everyone has to make the zucchini noodles.  You are not going to believe how simple this is to make. Zucchini is a very versatile vegetable because there are so many ways you can prepare it.  You can add it to baked goods like zucchini bread or grill it on the BBQ.  My family loves it any way I make it. Look for organic or local farm grown produce whenever you can.

Fresh Basil From The Garden

Today we are using fresh basil from my garden.  A patio garden is simple to create. All you need is a container, soil, basil and water. How easy is that!  There is nothing like the fresh smell of basil from the garden.  In the video you will see how my basil is growing like a bush. If you don’t have an outdoor space, you can grow basil inside just as easily. Try some parsley and rosemary too.
