I bought a mandolin years ago, and after one use, kicked it to the garage. I just knew my fingers would be shredded!
Then, I moved on ~ to the spiralizer train ~ owning one of the best kitchen gadgets I’ve come across in a while, the Spirooli!
It cuts, slices, shreds, or spirals the veggies and fruit in no time at all ~ making it the perfect tool for all the great summer veggies, and this delicious shrimp scampi dish.
Some of the best recipes are handed from friend to friend, and that’s how I learned of this recipe. It’s a light version of shrimp scampi, with zucchini substituting for the pasta. I spiraled the zucchini into lasagna noodle sized ribbons, instead of spaghetti sized. Adjust the garlic and red pepper flakes to your liking.

This is easy, packed with delicious good flavors, and it’s fun to make using a spiralizer! In another words, the Spirooli and this recipe are keepers!
