How to Pick Shrimp

You can use fresh or thawed frozen shrimp for this recipe. If you’re using fresh shrimp, remove the shells and lightly score down the back with a knife to remove the veins. This gives you a cleaner taste of shrimp and creates a nice fanned-out look when it’s cooked.

Ingredient Swaps

If you’re not a fan of zucchini, you can use roasted and shredded spaghetti squash instead.
