Yesterday at grocery shopping, I saw some really fresh zucchini on the shelf. The idea of making this healthy shrimp with zucchini came into my mind and I then went on to pick up some peeled shrimp as well.
Zucchini has a mild flavor. I find when cooked together with shrimp, the shrimp could help bring out the fresh and sweet flavor of the vegetable. A little bit salt and a touch of soy sauce are all the seasonings needed for this healthy yet tasty dish.
Below is a summary of how I made this dish with pictures.
I hope you enjoy making this healthy shrimp with zucchini at home. If you like this recipe, please give a rating and share it with your friends!
