This Shrimp Scampi with Zoodles is easy to make, delicious and great for the diet.
Serves two
Ingredients:
2 Tbsp. olive oil
¼ Tsp. crushed red pepper flakes
2 medium zucchini, cut in to noodles
1 pound jumbo shrimp, shelled and deveined
¼ cup white wine
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
2 Tbsp. fresh lemon juice
Directions:
Peel and devein shrimp and lightly salt and pepper. Set aside.
Make noodles (zoodles) by pushing zucchini through a spiralizer. If you don’t have a zoodle maker, grate the zucchini into large pieces or peel using a potato peeler and cut into long skinny pieces.
Add the olive oil to pan over medium-low heat. Add garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for about a minute, stirring constantly.
Add shrimp to the pan and cook until pink, about 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to a bowl, leaving any liquid in the pan.
Increase the heat to medium. Add white wine and lemon juice to the pan. Using a wooden spoon, scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
Cook the wine and lemon juice for 2 minutes.
Add the zoodles and cook for 2 minutes.
Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
