Total Time30 minutes
Servings: 2

Ingredients

  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 cup onion chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ cup dry white wine
  • 2 pkgs Frozen zucchini veggie spirals, 12 oz each such as Green Giant (or freshly prepared zoodles)
  • 12 oz Scallops thawed if frozen

Instructions

Cooking the onion and scallops

  • Note that you will start cooking the onion and scallops at around the same time as you start the zoodles.
  • Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until fragrant. Add the onion and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add garlic to the pan and cook for 1 additional minute, stirring frequently.
  • Add the white wine and cook for about 1 minute or until most of it evaporates.
  • Add scallops to the pan, making sure that they’re making full contact with the pan. Heat for 2 minutes on each side or until done.

Cooking the zoodles

  • Roughly around the same time you start cooking the onion and scallops mixture, start cooking frozen zoodles in another pan.
  • Preheat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Place the zoodles in the skillet (no oil or spray is needed) and cover with a lid. Steam the zoodles for about 10 minutes or longer.
  • While the zoodles cook, periodically drain the water from the skillet, using the lid to keep the zoodles from sliding out of the pan.
  • Put zoodles in a bowl, then top with the onion and scallop mixture.
  • Enjoy!
