Ingredients

• 2 large zucchini
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 pound raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 pound sea scallops
• 1 cup heavy cream
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Create zucchini noodles by using a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler, and set them aside.

Step 2

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

Step 3

Add minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 3–4 minutes, or until the shrimp is opaque and the scallops are slightly golden. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 5

In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil and the zucchini noodles. Sauté for 2–3 minutes until the noodles are slightly tender but still crisp.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to medium and return the cooked seafood to the skillet with the zucchini noodles.

Step 7

Pour the heavy cream into the skillet, stirring gently to combine.

Step 8

Gradually add the Parmesan cheese while continuing to stir, letting it melt and thicken the sauce.

Step 9

Stir in the lemon juice, chopped parsley, crushed red pepper flakes, and adjust seasoning with additional salt and black pepper if needed.

Step 10

Once the sauce is thickened to your liking, remove the skillet from heat.

Step 11

Serve hot, garnishing with additional parsley and Parmesan cheese, if desired.
