Ingredients
- 8 ounces chickpea penne pasta
- 1 lb raw shrimp tail off or on, frozen or fresh
- sprinkle garlic powder
- 2 tbsp avocado oil
- sprinkle lemon pepper
- sprinkle fine sea salt
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 cup Trader Joe's Bruschetta Sauce Trader Joe's
- grated parmesan optional
- red pepper flakes optional
Instructions
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain the water and set the pasta aside.
- For frozen shrimp: add shrimp to a pan on medium-high heat. Once almost defrosted but not cooked, drain the water. (If using fresh raw shrimp or pre defrosted skip this step.)
- Add two tablespoons avocado oil to the pan and toss shrimp in the oil.
- Sprinkle shrimp with garlic, lemon pepper, and salt. Let good for 3-4 minutes before turning shrimp and sprinkling the other side with the seasonings. Shrimp is done when it is cooked all the way through. The shrimp will be a nice pink color. It won't take more than 10 minutes at the max, usually closer to 5-6 minutes.
- Remove shrimp from the heat and set aside.
- Wash and cut zucchinis into half moons pieces.
- Combine pasta, shrimp, zucchini, and bruschetta sauce. Serve hot or cold! I topped mine with grated parmesan and red pepper flakes, but you do you!
