Notes

To store your Cajun Shrimp Zoodles, let the dish cool to room temperature first. Then transfer the zoodles and shrimp into an airtight container. Slide them into the fridge, where they'll keep for up to 3 days. To reheat, gently on the stove or in the microwave, adding a splash of water or broth if needed to keep everything delicious.
