Saffron Shrimp and Zucchini


Servings:

3-4

Cooking Time:

20 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 medium Zucchini, cut into ¼-inch slices
  • ¾ pound Shrimp, peeled and de-veined
  • ½ tsp Garlic, minced
  • 3 ounces Olive oil
  • ⅛ tsp Saffron
  • ¾ cup Chicken broth
  • ¼ cup, chopped fresh parsely
  • 1 lb. uncooked fettucini

Instructions:

  • Set a large pot of water to boil. Season it with some salt and an ounce of Olive Oil.
  • Once the water is boiling, set the fettucini in the pot to boil, stirring every minute or two. Set a timer for 8 minutes.
  • In a large skillet, heat 2 ounces of Olive Oil to the pan to get hot on medium-high heat.
  • Saute the shrimp about 2-3 minutes, until just pink. Remove with a slotted spoon to save the oil.
  • Add the zucchini and garlic to the pan. Saute for about 3-4 minutes, until the zucchini is just turning soft.
  • The fettucini is probably done around this time, remove and drain well.
  • Add the broth, parsely, and the saffron. Reduce ¼.
  • Return the shrimp to the pan, and simmer for about 2 minutes.
  • Toss in the fettucini and let it get hot. Serve on a large oval dish, and sprinkle with fresh parsely for garnish!
