Zoodles with Boursin and Shrimp

These zoodles with Boursin and shrimp use garlic and fine herbs Boursin cheese, a great recipe starter. Make sure you have everything prepped before you begin cooking—zucchini “noodles” cook quickly, and shortcuts like using pre-cooked shrimp ensure that once you start, it goes quickly. We love this with a nice, crusty bread and a simple tossed salad.

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

  • 3 zucchini, cut into noodle-shaped strands

  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste

  • 8 ounces white mushrooms, cleaned and sliced

  • 1 pound cherry tomatoes

  • 1/3 cup diced shallots

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1/2 cup dry white wine

  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or to taste

  • 1 (5.3-ounce) package Gournay cheese (such as Boursin® Garlic and Fine Herbs flavor)

  • 3 cups fresh spinach, coarsely chopped

  • 1 pound cooked, shelled medium shrimp

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • fresh parsley sprigs for garnish (optional)

Directions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter over medium-high heat in a large nonstick skillet.

  2. When the butter is hot and bubbling, add zucchini noodles and cook, stirring frequently, until heated through, 2 to 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Remove from the skillet and keep warm.

  3. To the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and 1 tablespoon unsalted butter. Reduce heat to medium and add mushrooms. Stir frequently and cook about 3 minutes.

  4. Add cherry tomatoes and cook about 3 minutes, stirring often. Add diced shallots and cook about 3 minutes more. Stir in garlic, and cook about 30 seconds, and then add wine and red pepper flakes.

  5. Add Boursin to the skillet and stir until melted, about 2 minutes. Stir in chopped spinach and cook until slightly wilted, about 1 minute.

  6. Return zucchini noodles to the skillet, add cooked shrimp and fresh parsley, and stir until well combined. Cook until shrimp is heated through, about 2 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley sprigs, if desired, and serve warm.
