Directions

Step 1

Dry the shrimp with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.

Step 2

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

Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink. Flip the shrimp and cook for another minute on the other side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and butter. Sauté the minced garlic and red pepper flakes for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Pour in the white wine and lemon juice into the skillet, stirring to combine. Allow the mixture to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly reduced.

Step 6

Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the noodles are just tender.

Step 7

Return the shrimp to the skillet and mix them with the noodles and sauce. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes to heat the shrimp through.

Step 8

Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley and lemon zest.
