Zucchini Noodles with Lemon Pepper Shrimp

Most people who are on a low carb/ keto diet have or will miss pasta at some point. If not, you're just weird. This meal tastes just like a bowl of delicious spaghetti you can get at a nice restaurant but with WAY fewer carbs. Zucchini noodles are great for a keto diet because it has one of the closest flavors to traditional gluten pasta with some of the lowest carbs too. Plus, if you know how to make your own noodles, there's so much versatility to what you can make with one zucchini. One medium zucchini has a net carb worth of about 4 carbs. Not bad, huh? Stores like Kroger will have these for a few dollars, so they're not too expensive either.
