Paleo Noodles with Shrimp and Bacon (Zoodles!)

Here’s a basic equation for you. Zucchini + noodles= zoodles. The new Paleo Noodles. They are delicious. VERY delicious. And possibly your new favorite Paleo meal. Imagine all the things you can make now that you have zoodles on your menu too. Paleo Noodles are real! You won't believe how these are made, and how delicious they taste.

The only thing you need to make these zoodles is a Spiralizer. You can buy one on Amazon, and it is completely worth the small price. Once you start using a spiralizer, you will wonder how you went this long without one! 

If you decide to buy a Spiralizer, you will find it very easy to use. The product comes with directions on how to spiralize your zucchini, or whatever vegetable you may want to use.
Zoodles can be made in a variety of ways. Just think of them as your regular noodle substitute. So if you love spaghetti and meatballs, just sub them spaghetti with zoodles. Fettucini alfredo? You can do it! Or just try this amazing dish below, zoodles with shrimp and bacon. 

Paleo Noodles are real! You won't believe how these are made, and how delicious they taste. It’s funny how things work. When I photographed these pictures months ago, I thought they were terrible. I said “These photos don’t do the zoodles justice.” I was so close to deleting them because I thought they were no good.  And maybe they don’t completely give the zoodles justice, but I’m glad I found these and am sharing them with you today. 

One thing I love about this dish is that it is great leftover. Because zoodles aren’t a piece of cake to make, you should make more and repurpose them all week. One day you can top them with shrimp, another day chicken and another with some meatballs and spaghetti. I’d love to know if any of you have made zoodles before! If so what is your favorite way to serve them?

    Shrimp + Bacon = yummm! This sounds like a perfect special dinner. I just bought some shrimp and zucchini so I’ll have to give it a shot.

    This was AMAZING!!!!! Thanks for this! I’m doing the 21 Day Sugar Detox with my very picky husband. We start the 3rd week tomorrow. For this recipe, we used a whole pack of bacon, quite a few more shrimp, a little more garlic, subbed Tessemae’s Lemon Chesapeake for part of the lemon juice, and because we’re from Louisiana, spiced things up a bit. For our zoodles we used 3 large zucchini, & baked them salted & resting on paper towel lined stone pan for a bit, then steamed them to soften up before we added in. He can’t take any crunch! The two of us ate almost the whole thing & he declared it one of the best meals he’s ever had. SCORE!!
