    This zucchini noodles with ultra-creamy sauce and melting shrimp is a delicious summer dish. A nice change from traditional pasta! It's a delicious recipe, super easy and quick, so what more could you ask for? And if you like zucchini noodles, you'll love this version with feta and roasted cherry tomatoes.

    Focus on zucchini tagliatelle and shrimps.

    💙 Why you'll love them

    • Super-easy to make: simply slice the zucchini, fry in a pan and add the shrimp to the sauce. Mix it all together...and it's ready!
    • Few ingredients: they're all very basic and easy to find and use.
    • Comforting: this is a creamy, unctuous summer recipe that's a real comfort.
    • Gluten-free: they are gluten-free, making them ideal for people with allergies or intolerances.

    🧀 Ingredients

    These are the main ingredients, and the quantities can be found in the recipe card below.

    • Zucchini: you can enjoy this delicious vegetable from May to October.
    • Creme fraiche
    • Parmesan: buy it in blocks and grate it yourself at the last minute - it's so much better!
    • I take shrimps raw and unpeeled: my wallet thanks me.
    • Garlic - if you want to choose your garlic carefully so you do not encourage the slavery of Chinese prisoners, read my Eco Tips on the subject.
    • For seasoning: fresh parsley and hot Cayenne pepper.

    🍗 Variations

    Feel free to adapt this recipe to your own tastes. I suggest several options:

    • Starchy foods : don't hesitate to add "real" pasta or rice to this recipe, for a complete dish.
    • Even more vegetables: button mushrooms, eggplants, tomatoes, etc...
    • Chicken: you can replace the shrimp with pre-cooked chicken, which you add at the last minute.

    ✅ Vegan and dairy-free version

    Vegan and dairy-free version: replace the crème fraîche with vegetable cream and the Parmesan with the vegan cheese of your choice.

    👩🏻‍🍳 Chef's tips

    1. If you're not using frozen shrimp: check on the packaging or with your fishmonger that they have been frozen beforehand, to eliminate any potential bacteria.
    2. Tip for successfully cooking shrimp: if they form a C, they are "cooked". On the other hand, if they form an O they are "over cooked"...
    3. Fry your zucchini well, allowing the water to evaporate so they don't get soggy.

    💡 Frequently Asked Questions

    Can I prepare these zucchini noodles in advance?

    Yes, of course! Use a vegetable peeler to make your zucchini ribbons and then place them in an airtight container (or a freezer bag) in the fridge. This way, you can keep them for 2 to 3 days. Prepare the sauce and shrimp at the last moment.

    Can I use pre-cooked shrimp?

    I do not recommend it; you won't have any control over the cooking since they are already cooked. Therefore, you may end up with overcooked and rubbery shrimp.

    Can I use white or yellow zucchini?

    Yes of course!

    Which wine to drink with it?

    I recommend white wine, such as Sauvignon Blanc, unoaked Chardonnay, Vermentino, or Pinot Grigio.

    ❄️Storage

    Storage: once cold, place in an airtight container. This means you can keep them in the fridge for 2 to 3 days.

    Reheating: I recommend putting them in the microwave for a few minutes.

    Instructions

    • With a peeler, make zucchini ribbons and sauté them in a pan for 15 minutes over high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Stir often to prevent sticking.
    • Meanwhile, shell and devein the shrimp, removing the heads. Usually, a black thread will come out with it; these are the intestines. If you don't see it, use a pick to remove it; it is in the middle of the back.
