Coconut Lime Shrimp with Zoodles
While lemon is a great complement to seafood, think about pairing with other citrus flavors like orange and lime. Try marinating shrimp in a mixture of lite coconut milk, lime extract, ginger and red pepper. Serve baked shrimp over warm zucchini, yellow squash and carrot spirals for an elegant presentation – and amazing taste!

Notes
Add colorful vegetables like zoodles or asparagus to your sheet pan to boost both seafood and vegetable servings. You don't need a spiralizer to make zoodles because many grocery stores offer pre-made zoodles in the produce section.
Test kitchen tip: For faster prep, use 4 cups store-bought spiralized vegetable noodles instead of spiralizing them yourself.
