Shrimp alfredo with zucchini noodles

So I had this crazy contraption I bought on a whim, but never had a reason to use so it sat....and sat... and sat some more. It was a veggie spiralizer. So when I saw the recipe for Shrimp Alfredo with Zucchini noodles I couldn't resist.







Here is the recipe:


And here is our adventure:

First I spiralized the zucchini. Four Zucchini and one band-aid later I got this



Then I opened a pack of already prepared shrimp. I just needed to remove the tail

I cooked them on up in the skillet with butter then transferred them to a plate with a paper towel on it to soak up the juices

Afterwards I sauted the noodles and then added the shrimp and Alfredo.  Then served it in a bowl with parmesan cheese


It is a very simple recipe and took only minutes to make.

Rating time!!!!!!
Girls rating: 2/3 were afraid to even try it. I try to push them to try new things but sometimes they just don't give. The one that did try it loved it
My rating: I absolutely loved it. I immediately added it to my recipe book to make again in the near future. The noodles tasted great with the shrimp. The best part is the feeling of being able to eat it without feeling as bad about what I'm eating. 

For those wondering, my two daughters that didn't want to eat the zucchini noodles.. they had regular pasta and ate several bowls of that so they weren't forced to eat what I made 

Let me know what you think in the comments!!

Gotta love some curry

Some people know I really love curry. I have tried many kinds of curry and have made many recipes. I tried a new book that I recently bought that has Keto friendly recipes. That diet I was doing worked really well so I'm trying to stick with it the best I cant but sometimes I slip.

Here is the recipe for the Coconut-Curry Chicken :


And here is our adventure:

First I added the coconut oil , onions, and red peppers

I added the chicken then I seasoned all of it with the curry , salt, and pepper.  I also added sweet paprika as a personal touch


After letting it boil and cook for a few minutes my daughters added the coconut milk and the lime juice


After cooking it for about 12 mins I added the red cabbage and cooked for two more minutes... I couldnt get that picture to load up. Use your imagination

Here is a random pic of me in my new daddy apron


I was too excited to take a picture of the finished product. I served it over some Basmati rice that I added alittle butter to.

Rating time!!!!
Girls rating: 3/3 .. they loved it so much that two of them had two bowls each and ate every last bit
My rating: I absolutely loved it. Definitely will make this again


I hope you enjoyed our adventure. Maybe you can use this recipe to make some yummy curry for yourself or your family. Sometimes its not the cooking that is the best part... sometimes its seeing the faces of people enjoying your cooking thats the best part
