Low-Carb Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles and Parmesan is just on time because I am so in love with my Shrimp Scampi Dip recipe. I decided to turn it into a healthy shrimp scampi zucchini noodles dish. Zucchini noodles are a great way to put together a low-carb dish that still packs a lot of flavor. I had the majority of the ingredients left over from when I made the dip. I purchased the zucchini and whipped up a great substitute.

Zucchini noodles can be a great substitute to save carbs in pasta dishes. They are low-carb and great for keto and paleo diets. However, zucchini noodles do not have the same texture as pasta. I get this question a lot. The answer is no, but I do find it to be a very tasty substitute.

I made this recipe last night and it was truly delicious however it should be noted that the carb content is higher than 4g - more like 9g depending on how many pieces of shrimp are in your serving. This makes a huge difference if youโre trying to stay within 20g of carbs.

I'm glad you enjoyed it! The carbs will vary for every recipe and are based on the branded ingredients each person uses. Everyone should calculate their personal macros using their branded ingredients. This is how I calculated mine that I provided as a courtesy. I also weigh my shrimp and input that into the calculator.
