Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

3 medium zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Freshly grated Parmesan cheese (optional, for serving)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zoodles: Begin by spiralizing the zucchinis into zoodles. Set them aside on a clean kitchen towel to absorb excess moisture.

    Cook the Shrimp: In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Once melted and bubbly, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using). Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

      Add Shrimp: Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add them to the skillet. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, stirring occasionally.

        Add Zoodles: Push the shrimp to one side of the skillet and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the zoodles, tossing everything together gently. Sauté for another 2-4 minutes until the zoodles are just tender but still have a slight crunch.

          Finish & Serve: Squeeze fresh lemon juice over the shrimp and zoodles, tossing to combine and adjust seasoning if necessary. Remove from heat, garnish with chopped parsley, and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately in bowls and relish the burst of flavors!
