  • Add the ¼ of water or broth the skill and add the butternut "noodles." Using tongs toss the "noodles", so they get coated in the broth and andy remaining garlic in the skillet.

  • Cover and let it set for 2 minutes then toss, cover and cook again for 2 minutes. Repeat this process until the butternut is cooked to your liking. I cooked mone for a total of 6 minutes.
  • Add the parsley and shrimp to the skillet and toss one last time to merge all the ingredients. Top with parmesan cheese and enjoy!

Notes

  • I spiralize my own butternut using this spiralizer but you could buy it already prepared from your grocery store. 
  • I've made this with carrot "noodles" as well and it's just as good! 
  • I eat half of this for a meal and it's HUGE! You could always break it up into additional servings but I like having a big 'ole plate of "pasta" on "pasta" night. I usually make this when the boys have linguini because they all don't like the squash anyway.
