Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 ounces zucchini noodles (zoodles)
  • 4 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Toss the zoodles with a pinch of salt and set aside.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.
  4. Pour in the white wine and lemon juice. Bring to a simmer, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
  5. Add the zoodles to the skillet and toss gently to coat with the sauce. Cook for 1-2 minutes, until the zoodles are slightly softened but still crisp.
  6. Stir in the chopped parsley and red pepper flakes (if using).
  7. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  8. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • You can buy pre-spiralized zucchini or make your own using a spiralizer.
  • Adjust the red pepper flakes to your spice preference.
  • For a creamier sauce, you can add a tablespoon of butter at the end.
