A light and satisfying dish featuring shrimp, zucchini noodles, and a zesty garlic-lemon sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 450 g peeled & deveined shrimp
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Zest of 1 lemon
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • ¼ cup light broth or white wine (optional)
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley
  • 3–4 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • Pinch of salt
  • Grated Parmesan or Pecorino cheese
  • Extra lemon wedges
  • A sprinkle of chopped fresh herbs (parsley, basil)

Instructions

  1. Spiralize the zucchini to make ‘zoodles.’ Pat gently with a paper towel to remove excess moisture.
  2. Sauté the zoodles in a skillet over medium heat with 1 tablespoon of olive oil for 1–2 minutes.
  3. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter to the same skillet.
  4. Cook the minced garlic and red pepper flakes for about 30 seconds.
  5. Add the shrimp and season with salt and pepper, cooking for 1–2 minutes per side.
  6. Incorporate lemon zest, juice, and broth or wine, simmering for 1–2 minutes.
  7. Return the zoodles to the skillet and toss gently with the shrimp.
  8. Stir in the chopped parsley and adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Plate immediately, optionally topping with grated cheese and additional herbs.

Notes

Patting the zoodles dry helps maintain texture. Can customize with different proteins or vegetables.
