Notes

This dish can be made with chicken or tofu instead of shrimp for a different protein option. Feel free to experiment with other vegetables like eggplant or cauliflower in place of zucchini. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days or frozen for up to 2 months. Be sure to let the dish rest for a few minutes after baking for better flavor and easier serving. Adding lemon zest before serving provides a fresh, zesty finish. Enjoy!
