  • Author: Lauren Baker
  • Total Time: 30 minutes

Ingredients

– 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
– 4 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
– 4 tablespoons butter
– 4 tablespoons olive oil
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– ½ cup dry white wine (or chicken broth)
– 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
– Juice of 1 lemon
– Grated Parmesan cheese (for serving, optional)


Instructions

Creating Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles is straightforward if you follow these easy steps:

1. Prepare the Zucchini Noodles: Spiralize the zucchini to create noodles. Set aside on a clean towel to absorb excess moisture.

2. Heat the Pan: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat until melted.

3. Cook the Shrimp: Add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

4. Sauté Garlic: In the same skillet, add remaining butter and garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

5. Add Wine: Pour in the white wine (or chicken broth) and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until it reduces slightly.

6. Combine Noodles and Shrimp: Add the zucchini noodles back into the skillet along with the shrimp, red pepper flakes, and lemon juice. Toss everything together and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until heated through and the noodles are just tender.

7. Finish and Serve: Remove from heat and stir in chopped parsley. Serve immediately, garnished with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.
