So I am not one to post food blogs... but today I couldn't help it! My boss gave me a GIANT zucchini from his garden and so I went to down on zucchini cooking today! I made a chocolate zucchini cake and my signature recipe that I call, zucchini garlic shrimp pasta.
Not going to lie I got the zucchini cake recipe from the Internet...
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/chocolate-zucchini-cake-iii/
But I made some changes, I split the oil in half with applesauce and instead of grating the zucchini (too much work) I pureed it. :) I also didn't add nuts (Yuck!) and put chocolate chips in instead... mmm! It came out very good! I was nervous cause my electricity went off half way through its cooking, but it still turned out scrumptious!
Next is my signature dish that I typically make once a week.
 |
| Brown Zucchini and garlic |
 |
| I saved some puree from the cake to use as a sauce for the pasta and added some garlic powder |
 |
| Boil pasta as zucchini is cooking |
 |
| Add salad shrimp to zucchini and garlic... I use salad shrimp cause it doesn't have to be peeled and is already cooked |
 |
| Combine the two and I put some grated cheese on top and Serve! |
 |
| Colin also had squash and turkey... but he had FOUR servings of pasta and zucchini and then some apples for dessert! |
