Zoodles and Buttered Garlic Prawns
Zoodles are noodles made with courgettes (also known as zucchini). There are two ways to make zoodles - one is with a spiralizer, and the other is wth a mandolin. They are best cut super thin, and make sure you salt liberally, as this will draw out the water. Zoodles are a great low carb Keto alternative, which are low in Oxalate and low in Lectins.
Decreasing the number of tomatoes in the recipe will reduce the overall number of carbs and nightshades.
