Ingredients

• 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1.5 cups heavy cream
• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 0.25 teaspoon nutmeg, ground
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the shrimp and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until they are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium and add the remaining olive oil. Add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the heavy cream and add the butter. Stir until the butter has melted and the mixture starts to simmer.

Step 5

Add the Parmesan cheese, nutmeg, salt, and pepper to the skillet. Stir continuously until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy. This should take about 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Toss the spiralized zucchini noodles into the Alfredo sauce in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender but still crisp.

Step 7

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything to coat with the sauce.

Step 8

Remove from heat, garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired, and serve immediately.
