Ingredients
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 3 pieces large zucchini
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 0.25 cup white wine (optional, ensure keto-friendly)
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
Directions
Step 1
Begin by spiralizing the zucchini to create 'zoodles' and set aside.
Step 2
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter and add the olive oil.
Step 3
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until it becomes fragrant, taking care not to let it burn.
Step 4
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shrimp to the skillet. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook the shrimp for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are pink and opaque.
Step 5
Once the shrimp are done, remove them from the skillet and set aside.
Step 6
Add the lemon juice and white wine to the skillet. Use a wooden spoon to scrape any bits from the bottom of the pan, letting the mixture simmer for 2 minutes.
Step 7
Lower the heat to medium. Add the zoodles to the skillet and toss them in the lemon-garlic sauce for about 3-4 minutes until they are slightly tender but still firm.
Step 8
Return the shrimp to the skillet, mixing them with the zoodles until everything is well combined and heated through.
Step 9
Remove the skillet from heat. If desired, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley.
Step 10
Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Shrimp Scampi Pasta with a fresh lemon wedge on the side if desired.
