It is super duper officially summer and that means it’s time to stop cooking ANYTHING. It’s so dang hot and turning on the oven sounds like the worst idea ever. So buy some frozen cooked shrimp and make a shrimp scampi you can enjoy on a hot day! These days in the 90s have been so interesting, especially when you have a small child to entertain. We have been living in the kiddie pool in the backyard and taking full advantage of the kid play area at the mall. As for meals we have mostly been eating my cookbook creations as leftovers or grilling everything! I love to fully embrace the season of eating outside at night with a cold beverage and trying new ways of incorporating seasonal goods. Zucchini is a summer squash so now is the time to make all the zoodles! These zoodles are not cooked at all, which I love, because they don’t get watery and too tender. If you massage them with the dressing well, they are the perfect texture in my opinion. So get zoodling and enjoy this weather!
We love Zoodles as much as the next person, so here are a few more recipes.
