← Replies in Zucchini Noodles with Garlic Shrimp Recipe

Anonymous Salmon· last year

Am gonna nick-pick a bit. First of all, the word is shrimp...not shrimps. Shrimps refers to the number of different species in the waters of our planet. Enough said. Secondly, the juice and zest of a half of lemon the size of a baseball yields a lot more than one the size of ping pong ball. C'mon, how many tsp/tbsp does this need? However, I did add some charred green onions and used both white wine along with a tbsp of vegetable broth concentrate. My garden grown zucchini was twice the size of grocery store zucchini but using a handheld tool made quick work to get all the zoodles I can stand. Using mostly high heat for a good share of this cook brought supper to the table quickly.

The word is "nitpick", not "nick-pick". I assume you are American, because elsewhere in the world, "shrimps" is very common. And it's grammatically correct. A quick peek in a dictionary can confirm this for you. Whenever a recipe calls for produce that may vary somewhat in size, it's always assumed to be an average, as you might get from a market. If "half of 1 lemon" has thrown you, please do not attempt to bake a fruit pie.
