[QUOTE="Grateful, post: 1607967, member: 438800"] Spiralized courgettes cooked with frozen, pre-cooked shrimp. In the cookbook it is called "Greek style shrimp scampi." The whole preparation takes about 15 minutes. The catch is that you do need to spiralize the courgettes at least an hour ahead, and let them dry out in paper towels, before proceeding with the prep. I'm not sure I can post the actual recipe here because it comes from a recently published book and it would be copyright. My wife and I, since my T2D diagnosis, do a lot of "spiralizing" because it is relatively quick and easy and really yummy. The book we use is "Inspiralize Everything" by Ali Maffucci, published here in America. There are surely British equivalents or the US book may be easy to find in UK anyway. I am told that "spiralizing" was a fad in the UK a few years back and that nowadays, it is easy to find "spiralizers" in charity shops because the fad passed so quickly. But even new ones are not expensive (about 20 pounds sterling). Edited to add: A couple of days ago I saw Nigella Lawson prepare stuff with her spiralizer. I looked up the brand and it was several hundred quid, just for a glorified cheese grater basically! [/QUOTE]
