Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 1 pound Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 1 whole Lemon (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Directions
Step 1
Wash and trim the ends off the zucchini. Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Set them aside on a clean kitchen towel to absorb moisture.
Step 2
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Step 3
Add the raw shrimp to the skillet. Season them with salt and ground black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink, then flip them over and cook for another 2 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
Step 4
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the prepared zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened but still al dente.
Step 5
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the zucchini noodles. Drizzle the lemon juice over the mixture and toss everything together to combine.
Step 6
Sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Step 7
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Enjoy your Whole30-approved spaghetti with garlic shrimp!
