Lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp with Zoodles

Step 1

Using a spiralizer, make your own zucchini noodles. You can also purchase pre-made zucchini noodles in the produce department of most grocery stores.

Step 2

Over medium-high heat, combine 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet.

Step 3

Once heated, add the peeled raw shrimp in a single layer to the skillet. Let them sit for a full minute without moving them, so that they can get a good sear. Top them with salt and pepper to taste.

Step 4

After a minute, toss in the minced garlic, Italian seasoning and red pepper flakes. Stir often until the shrimp are properly cooked. Do not overcook your shrimp, or they will become rubbery. Remove the shrimp to a plate and keep them warm.

Step 5

In the same skillet melt 2 tablespoons of butter, add the juice from half of a lemon, the chicken stock and some hot sauce. Simmer the mixture for 3-4 minutes.

Step 6

Add in the zucchini noodles, and cook for 2 minutes, tossing thoroughly in the sauce.

Step 7

Add the shrimp back into the skillet to warm them up, and then serve with fresh chopped parsley sprinkled on top.
