Clean zucchini and cut off ends. Use a spiralizer to make zucchini into zucchini noodles.
Sprinkle salt over zucchini and mix thoroughly, and let rest in a strainer for 20-30 minutes. This will help remove the excess water from the zucchini.
Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. The pan I use doesn't need cooking spray, but please add this if yours does. Add zucchini and cook until it starts to get tender. You don't want to over cook it as it will get mushy.
Add shrimp, pesto and black pepper. Cook until heated through.
Notes
To make this more decadent, add a ¼ cup of heavy cream, and top with grated Parmesan cheese.
Grilled chicken can also be substituted for the shrimp.
