Notes
The following is just a suggestion for advanced chefs. I don't do this.
Salt and mix the zucchini with salt and let sit to get the water out of the zucchini. This will make them more noodley. Before you put these in the mixture with the shrimp and things you will need to rinse them with cold water (NOT WARM OR HOT). If you rinse with warm water it will open the pores and the salt will get in there and and your noodles will be too salty.
