About this Recipe

A light pasta made from fresh zucchini with juicy shrimp in a delicate creamy tomato sauce. Thin strips of zucchini remain slightly firm and perfectly replace regular pasta, while shrimp add a full serving of protein. Cream cheese, tomatoes, and Parmesan create a rich creamy flavor without a heavy sauce. A quick, bright, yet hearty breakfast with plenty of vegetables and a good protein content.
