Lean & Green Recipe: Easy Shrimp Alfredo with Spinach & Tomato
Holy guacamole guys, this recipe is absolutely amazing. ALSO did you know shrimp is INSANELY easy to make? Literally you season it and throw it in the air fryer for 8 minutes….what the heck? SO GOOD.
I’m working on a round up of all the pasta alternatives but this is BY FAR my absolute favorite I’ve tried. It’s from the brand “ItsSkinny” (use my code GEO15 for 15% off on their site) or they are on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/3zmyfto – seriously trust me and give it a try if you miss pasta. Each serving is 4.5 calories and 2 carbs, so since I’m using spinach here in this recipe which is very low carb I am not counting the noodles. If you were being STRICT to the letter, it would be 2 condiments or 1 optional snack.
Just a note, I purposely didn’t use olive oil to coat the shrimp because shrimp is cooked at high temperatures, so olive oil and minced garlic can burn before it’s cooked which is why I used garlic powder & avocado oil spray which have a higher temperature allowance.
