Low Carb Creamy Zoodles with Shrimp and Mushrooms

Low carb creamy zoodles with shrimp and mushrooms ItsaWahmLife.comI really miss pasta… however, zoodles are coming in a pretty close second, especially with a delicious, creamy sauce. I also love shrimp. One of my favorite dishes used to be spaghetti and shrimp, so throwing together shrimp and zoodles makes me pretty dang happy. This is a quick lunch that’s delicious and satisfying. I sometimes leave the mozzarella out when I’m doing lunch, but it makes a great addition to create a really hardy meal. This recipe is for 1 serving, so if you need more, just double/quadruple the recipe. 🙂 The nutrition facts shown, are from My Fitness Pal. The paper plate… was a compromise to prevent, “doing the dishes meltdown” from the kiddo. Had I realized how delicious it was going to be, I most definitely would have used real plates. 🙂
