Shrimp Pasta with a Lemon Ricotta Sauce

Today I got to test out a really cool kitchen gadget – Brieftons InstantVeg Spiralizer ($30). It turns hard vegetables or fruits into twirly magic. Things like apples, onions, carrots, zucchinis, cucumbers,  large radishes, potatoes, sweet potatoes, squashes, anything hard can be turned into eye appealing spirals or ribbons. I wish I would have used this to make my Cinnamon Apple Crisps. It would of made them looking extra amazing!

The Brieftons InstantVeg Spiralizer has 4 different blade settings that are easily set in place by a turn of a knob. I love that the blades are safely enclosed within the gadget making finger injuries minimal.

The makers of the Brieftons InstantVeg Spiralizer say:

Vegetables can also be turned into thin, uniform slices, julienne strips by adding cuts prior to slicing

Minimum vegetable wastage. It leaves only a small vegetable disc in the tines of the turning vegetable holder

Made from top quality, 100% BPA-free, food-safe, durable reinforced ABS plastic

Non-electric, ideal for emergencies and camping

Any fruit or vegetable that is placed into the spiralizer needs to have to flat ends and only be 3 inches or less tall. The spiralizer comes with a base container that you can attach to catch what comes out or you can spiral things right into a pan or bowl if you choose. The base container also comes with a lid if you want to save any of your amazing creations for later.  It couldn’t be easier to use!

The Brieftons InstantVeg Spiralizer is just as easy to clean. You can pop it in the dishwasher or clean it by hand with the included brush. I love this spiralizer! I can see shoe string or curly fries in my future!!

spiralTo test out Brieftons InstantVeg Spiralizer I made Shrimp Pasta with a Lemon Ricotta Sauce. It turned out yummy with all the extra veggies. It’s also very versatile. You could choose different vegetables or only vegetables if you are on a low carb diet.

    I was thinking to cook pasta for my daughter now. This is something amazing but first time I got to know that we can use zucchini as well.
    Seems very yummy.

    I am off to cook this as luckily I have all ingredients with me.
    Thanks.

      I hope you like it! I think it’s better reheated as you can almost turn it into a ricotta shrimp scampi with some butter and olive oil 🙂

    While I’m not a fan of zucchini, my Mom loved it. She would have really liked this pasta recipe.
