Ingredients

• 1 pound Medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 large Zucchini, spiralized into noodles
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 cloves Minced garlic
• 1 cup Heavy cream
• 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
• 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped for garnish

Directions

Step 1

Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring each shrimp is coated evenly.

Step 2

Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 3

In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.

Step 4

Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened.

Step 5

Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss them in the Alfredo sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the noodles are just tender, but not mushy.

Step 6

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and gently mix with the noodles and sauce to warm through.

Step 7

Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch.
