Garlic Butter Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles

Plump shrimp in garlic butter tossed with zucchini noodles — the pasta feeling, at a fraction of the carbs.

Ingredients

  • 1½ lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 medium zucchini, spiralized
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 5 garlic cloves, minced
  • ¼ tsp red pepper flakes
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • ½ cup grated parmesan
  • ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • ½ tsp kosher salt
  • ¼ tsp black pepper

Steps

  1. Salt the zucchini noodles, rest 10 minutes, then squeeze dry in a clean towel.
  2. Pat the shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper.
  3. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until foaming.
  4. Cook the shrimp 2 minutes per side until pink, then remove to a plate.
  5. Add the garlic and red pepper flakes to the pan and cook 30 seconds.
  6. Toss in the zoodles for 2 minutes until just tender, then return the shrimp with the lemon juice, parmesan and parsley.
Serve with: extra parmesan and lemon wedges.

Salt the zoodles and drain them well, or the sauce turns watery.
