Seafood Zucchini Pasta Bowl Recipe

Get ready to teleport to Thailand and enjoy all the tropical flavors of the ocean and seafood in the comfort of your very own home within very little time😊. This zucchini pasta bowl recipe bursts with tangy sweet and spicy flavors and is so simple to make using red curry paste, lemon grass, coconut milk and ginger, then is tossed with canned crab meat and zucchini noodles. Can we also say “Hello, heathy zucchini pasta dish that trims my waistline while pumps the body with muscle-building protein”!

Coconut milk, oil and creams are high in saturated fat, but a type of fat the body processes differently than others like trans fats. Coconut milk has been known to speed up the metabolism, starve off hunger and aid in weight loss, when consumed in moderation (source). I have to fully bold that one😊 as moderation is key with every meal. For this recipe, it is fully delicious with lite coconut milk, which adds the flavor without compromising too much fat. If you are doing a Keto diet, you may want to increase to full fat or coconut cream for this recipe.

HOW TO MAKE THAI COCONUT CRAB ZUCCHINI PASTA RECIPE

First purchase in advance zucchini noodles, or prepare 1 lb. zucchini (courgette) by zoodling them with a spiralizer.

This is super simple, as we move-on to the sauce. Combine the coconut milk, lemongrass, pepper, red Thai curry paste, salt, black pepper, lime, sugar, and ginger in a large saucepan. Simmer on low for 20 minutes. This allows the flavors to combine and pulls seasons from the lemongrass, peppers and ginger. After 20 minutes stir in the crab meat, cashews, and prepared zucchini cut into noodles. Cover and simmer for 2 minutes on medium-high heat.

Discard the lemongrass, toss in green onions and chives and serve right away with extra lime juice and watermelon radishes for color.

TROUBLE SHOOTING ZUCCHINI PASTA

Only cook the zucchini noodles for the last 2 minutes, or until slightly heated through. This leaves them with a slight crunch and makes them not mushy. Cooing them too long alters the texture😊.

OTHER MEATS AND SEAFOOD TO USE IN ZUCCHINI PASTA

Supplement the canned crab meat with canned shrimp, tuna, cooked mahi mahi, or even a rotisserie chicken.
