Shrimp Scampi and Zucchini Noodles Recipe

Yield: 2

Print

Ingredients

• 1 T Extra virgin olive oil
• 3 med/large zucchinis, spiral sliced; you can also used a veggie peeler for strips
• 4 cloves Garlic, minced or chopped
• 1/4 cup Good, dry, white wine, the kind you would drink! You can also omit this and the recipe will be just as delicious!
• 4 T Butter
• 1 lb Raw shrimp, peeled
• 1 Lemon, juiced
• 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
• Salt and Pepper, to taste

Instructions

1. Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium high heat.
2. Add the garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds; or until you can smell the garlic heating up
3. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for about 2 minutes; don't cook for too long, they will get soggy.
4. Remove the zucchini and garlic to a plate while you cook the shrimp.
5. To the pan, add the white wine, scraping up any bits on the bottom of the pan, and simmer to reduce to half - about 2 minutes, you shouldn't smell any more alcohol
6. Add the butter
7. Once the butter melts, add the lemon juice and shrimp and cook until the shrimp turn opaque and pink, tossing them a few times. This will probably only take about 2-3 minutes.
8. Add the zucchini noodles and garlic back into the pan and mix to incorporate everything
9. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
10. Serve it up!
11. I like to squeeze more lemon on top, and sprinkle with red pepper flakes, and sometimes more cheese. YUM!
