Low Carb Shrimp Scampi With Veggies
This Low-Carb Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles is a quick and flavorful twist on the classic pasta dish. Juicy shrimp are sautéed in a buttery garlic sauce and tossed with fresh zucchini noodles for a lighter, healthier meal that’s ready in less than 30 minutes. It’s proof that you don’t need pasta to enjoy all the rich, comforting flavors of shrimp scampi!
I love shrimp scampi as much as the next gal, but now that I am cutting back on carbs, I have had to come up with another way to enjoy that luscious dish made with shrimp that is cooked in a savory, garlic-y, butter-y cream sauce.
No pasta for this girl. Instead of using pasta, substitute zucchini noodles for a healthier option. Some bell peppers add color and a little sweetness.

Tips for Perfect Shrimp Scampi
- Serve right away. Zucchini noodles release moisture as they sit, so enjoy your scampi immediately for the best texture.
- Spiralize fresh zucchini. If possible, spiralize your own zucchini for firmer noodles that don’t get soggy.
- Add a little heat. A pinch of red pepper flakes gives the scampi sauce an extra kick of flavor.
