Ingredients
  • 2 small zucchini, spiral sliced
  • 1 Tb. olive oil
  • 1 Tb. unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, sliced thinly
  • 1 c. chorizo, small dice
  • 1 small yellow onion, chopped
  • ¼ c. white wine
  • ½ c. chicken stock
  • ½ tsp. kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • Large handful of baby spinach
  • 1 c. portobello mushrooms, sliced
  • 8 large shrimp
  • 6 large sea scallops
  • 1 Tb. lemon zest
Instructions
  1. Follow instructions for using your brand of spiral slicer to make the zucchini noodles. Set aside.
  2. In a large non-stick skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium/high heat.
  3. Add garlic, onions and chourico and saute for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add wine and stock. Slowly simmer to reduce the amount of liquid by half (this takes a few minutes).
  5. Add zucchini noodles and spinach and mix to combine flavors.
  6. In a small pan over medium heat, toss in sliced mushrooms (no oil necessary) and allow them to sit for a couple of minutes. Fluff them a bit so they brown on both sides (this results in a yummy, roasted flavor). Remove once they’re brown and add to zucchini mixture.
  7. In the same pan, add a dab of butter and heat to medium/high. Sprinkle the shrimp and scallops with a pinch of salt & pepper, then add to the hot pan. Cook shrimp 1-2 minutes on each side (until they’re pink). Cook scallops until seared (at least 1 minute), then flip for another minute or so. Remove from pan and combine with zucchini mixture.
  8. Top everything with lemon zest, season to taste, then serve.
