Ingredients

• 4 pieces Zucchini (medium, spiralized into noodles)
• 500 grams Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
• 4 tablespoons Butter (unsalted)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil (extra virgin)
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 piece Lemon (juiced)
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes (optional, for heat)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.25 cups Parmesan cheese (optional, grated, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Start by spiralizing the zucchinis into noodles if not pre-done. Pat the zucchini noodles dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.

Step 2

Season the raw shrimp with half the salt and black pepper. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Step 4

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

Step 5

Add the seasoned shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 6

In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Once melted, add the zucchini noodles and toss to coat them with the butter and olive oil mixture.

Step 7

Cook the zucchini noodles for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until just tender but still firm (al dente). Be careful not to overcook, as they can become mushy.

Step 8

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the zucchini noodles. Add the lemon juice, red chili flakes (if using), parsley, and the remaining salt and pepper. Toss everything together gently until well combined and heated through.

Step 9

Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve immediately, garnished with freshly grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
