Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Spiralizer

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into noodles
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 2 lemons, juiced and zested
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions
 

  • Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Add the minced garlic and stir for about 30 seconds until it smells fragrant.
  • Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until they turn pink and opaque.
  • Pour in the lemon juice and add the zest, then stir everything together.
  • Add the zucchini noodles and toss gently for 1 to 2 minutes until they are just warmed through but still crisp.

Notes

Serve right away so the zucchini noodles stay firm. Fresh lemon gives the best bright flavor, and you can add a pinch of salt if the butter is unsalted. Leftovers keep in the fridge for one day and reheat gently in a skillet to avoid soggy noodles.
