Skillet Zucchini Shrimp Pasta, don’t know what to make with all those zucchini, this fast and easy sautéed Zucchini, Shrimp and Spaghetti is one of the best choices for dinner tonight or any night.

Skillet Zucchini Shrimp Pasta is a delicious pasta dish.  An easy perfect zucchini recipe for weekday or even weekend cooking.

One of the good things about being back in Italy is that I am never short of gifts from my mother-in-law, sometimes better than diamonds (ok I won’t exaggerate but close!) Zucchini, Eggplant, Tomatoes, Peppers etc,  it seems like it is never-ending.

And she said this summer was a bad year, too much rain, an over load of snails that are eating everything in sight. Doesn’t seem to be affecting the zucchini though. But then again what does?

It is a good thing there are so many great zucchini recipes out there, including this one. Zucchini and Shrimp pasta is a must try. Fast, easy and yes Pasta can be healthy too!

Skillet Zucchini Shrimp Pasta is a delicious pasta dish.  An easy perfect zucchini recipe for weekday or even weekend cooking.

After being away for two months I went to give my mother-in-law a hand with her garden this evening. It took almost the whole evening, between picking  the beans, eggplant, zucchini,peppers, lettuce  and tomatoes.

I went home with bags full of the most beautiful vegetables. With all these amazing vegetables it doesn’t seem that it would be too difficult to live  without meat.

Although in this recipe I did throw in some shrimp. Believe it or not,  Shrimp and Zucchini go really well together, who would have thought? It has become one of my favourite Summer Pasta Dishes.

      Can you use the shrimp frozen or must they be defrosted

        Hi Irene, sure you can use frozen shrimp. I would probably let them semi thaw before frying with the zucchini. It might take a bit longer to cook because of the extra liquid from the frozen shrimp. Let me know how it goes.

      The recipe was super easy to follow and my meal turned out great. Moving forward, I think I will cook my shrimp in a separate skillet and transfer to the vegetable skillet during the last 5 minutes of cooking. My shrimp werent cooking properly during my initial test run of the recipe.

      Boy oh boy this sounds so easy and delicious. Of course being Italian myself any veggie with pasta is good. I will top mine with shaved Parmesan.
