Sea salt and black pepper (to taste)
Pesto:

3 clove garlic
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
Sea salt and black pepper
Directions:
1. Make the pesto first.
Combine the Macadamia nuts, cilantro, garlic, extra virgin olive oil, sea salt and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth.
2. Peel the shrimp. Place in a steamer basket in a large saucepan and boil and inch of water. While the water is heating run a julienne peeler along the side of each zucchini (or use zucchini noodler). Steam the zucchini for about 3 to 5 min. and set aside.
3. Steam the shrimp for 3 to 5 min. until pink all the way through.
4. Place the steamed zucchini in a mixing bowl with the pesto and toss until covered. Add and subtract based on the consistency that you want! Top the noodles with shrimp and serve.
