I've been meaning to cook shrimp scampi but because I also need to consider Mark's dietary needs, I had to think of ways to make it also healthy.

This Shrimp Scampi recipe is easy to prepare and delicious, plus healthy, too, as we're using sweet potato noodles, instead of the usual linguine, for added nutrition. I don't have the spiralizer so I just used store bought sweet potato noodles.

If you have the tools you may make the the noodles from scratch. 2-3 medium sized sweet potatoes should do. You may also use zucchini noodles or other veggie noodles as you wish.

If you want it to be healthier, you can also substitute the butter with olive oil and omit the salt. ;)
