These 6 quick and easy zoodles recipes are ready in 15-20 minutes and easy enough to make after a long day of work.

Taco Zoodles

Hi friends!

If you follow me on social media, you’ve probably noticed hubby and I have been eating zoodles like crazy this summer. Hubby loves them and requests them often and I’ve taken on the challenge of coming up with a variety of ways to eat them so we don’t get bored.

This isn’t your typical food blogger post where you will see a well-tested, perfectly styled recipe.

This is real life.

6 Quick and Easy Zoodles recipes to eat for dinner on a busy night.

Be sure to PIN THIS for later!

All six of these dishes are things we’ve eaten for dinner in the past two weeks. I spent about 10 seconds snapping a photo with my iphone in between trying to get food on the table for hubby, feeding a screaming baby and washing dishes.

There are no exact quantities, no measuring cups, no recipe testing.

Just simple, basic meal ideas that we enjoyed and I thought you guys might as well. (Especially since you go crazy over these posts on Instagram!)

Onward!
Paleo Shrimp Scampi

Paleo Shrimp Scampi. Ok so I lied. This one actually does have a recipe. I shared this Paleo Shrimp Scampi on the blog a few weeks ago and it’s been a big hit. I make it often for us because it only takes about 10 minutes and it’s just a few ingredients. I never measure…just heat some butter in a pan, toss in some garlic, onion, peppers and shrimp. Sprinkle with basil and oregano and add some zoodles for the last few minutes to heat through.

Pesto Zoodles with Corn

Pesto Zoodles with Corn. This was a simple side dish I whipped up one night while hubby was grilling chicken.  I lightly sauteed some corn, peppers and onions and then mixed in some pesto, paprika and zoodles and served it alongside some grilled chicken with bbq sauce.

Sweet and Spicy Zoodles

Sweet and Spicy Zoodles. Add whatever veggies you have on hand to the pan. Throw in some leftover grilled chicken, pork, tofu, whatever protein you want. Add zoodles, some sweet Thai chili sauce and some sriracha and heat through.

Shrimp with zoodles, bacon and mozzarella

Shrimp & Bacon Zoodles with Fresh Mozz. Saute some garlic, bacon, onion and your fav veggies over high heat. Add shrimp. Toss in some zoodles and some chopped fresh mozzarella at the end.

Spaghetti Zoodles with Chicken Sausage

Spaghetti Zoodles with Chicken Sausage. A twist on classic spaghetti. Garlic, onion, a bag of frozen veggies, some baby bok choy and a bell pepper sauteed with some chicken sausage. Topped off with zoodles, tomato sauce and mini mozzarella balls.

Taco Zoodles

Taco Zoodles. Peppers, onions, black beans, corn and ground turkey sauteed with cumin, cayenne and paprika. Add zoodles and heat through. Top with cheese, salsa and guacamole!

    Awesome! We love zoodles at our house too. When you food prep do you go ahead and zoodle your zucchini? I am wondering if I can keep them in the fridge for a few days in that form.

    Perfect time for me to read this! My mother just gave us two of the biggest zucchinis I have ever seen! These are definitely the kind of dinners we make in our house…onion and garlic go in everything and then whatever other veggies we have on hand! Thanks for sharing!
