A refreshing and flavorful dish featuring grilled shrimp served on a bed of zucchini noodles tossed in a citrus marinade.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 tsp finely grated lime zest (from one medium lime)
  • 1.5 tsp finely grated orange zest
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tbsp fresh minced cilantro
  • 2 tsp fresh lime juice
  • 1.5 tbsp fresh orange juice
  • 6 tbsp olive oil
  • 0.5–0.75 tsp fine sea salt, plus additional for seasoning shrimp
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper or chipotle chili powder
  • 1 tsp honey (optional; excludes Whole30 compliance)
  • 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp
  • Salt and pepper for shrimp seasoning
  • 3–4 medium zucchini, spiralized
  • 0.25–0.5 tsp sea salt for sweating zucchini
  • Extra fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions

  1. Combine all marinade ingredients except olive oil in a bowl and whisk or blend on low. Gradually whisk in olive oil to emulsify.
  2. Reserve 3 tbsp of the marinade and add shrimp to it. Cover and refrigerate for at least one hour. Keep remaining marinade refrigerated for serving.
  3. Spiralize zucchini into noodles and place in a colander over a bowl. Sprinkle with sea salt and let sweat for about one hour. Drain and press out excess moisture with paper towels.
  4. Heat grill to high and brush grates lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  5. Remove shrimp from marinade, shake off excess but keep light coating. Season lightly with sea salt and pepper. Grill shrimp in a single layer, 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Avoid overcooking.
  6. Allow shrimp to cool slightly. Toss with zucchini noodles and preferred amount of remaining marinade. Garnish with fresh cilantro and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Adjust seasoning according to taste.
  • For a spicier kick, use chipotle chili powder.
  • Use fresh shrimp for best results.
