I’m a big fan of vegetable noodles. I often eat zucchini noodles while my family eats pasta. My husband does not like zucchini so he refuses to eat it. However he recently saw someone make asparagus noodles and said maybe he’d like that. What?! He wants to eat veggie noodles! Of course I will make you some! So when I came across a batch of big asparagus I pulled out my peeler and set to make these lemon shrimp asparagus noodles.

Making Asparagus Noodles

First of all, normally I would buy thinner asparagus because they are more tender and taste better to me. However for this recipe you really need those big asparagus stocks. That’s the only way you will be able to make them into noodles.

I didn’t use my spiralizer today, and just used a regular potato peeler like this. You simply cut off the woody ends and the tips. I kept the tips and added it to the dish but you don’t have to use them. Then you just peel lengthwise to form beautiful ribbons of noodles.

Next you get some butter melting in a large skillet. Add to it a little garlic, lemon juice and lemon zest. Once the butter is melt and the garlic is starting to become fragrant, add in your cooked shrimp and toss around for a minute or two. Lastly toss in your asparagus noodles and cook for about 3-5 minutes. Top with grated Asiago or Parmesan cheese and you are ready to eat.

    I love that you can turn almost anything into a noodle – that’s the kind of view I need to adopt. This looks super tasty 🙂 I love everything about it. Looks like the ideal date night meal <3
