Ingredients

Instructions

Step 1

  1. Cook the shrimp

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

  2. Saute the shrimp

    In the same skillet, add the butter and garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant. If using, add the chicken broth or white wine to the skillet and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to reduce slightly.

Step 2

  1. Cook your Zucchini

    Add the zucchini noodles to a separate skillet and toss them in the garlic butter sauce for 2-3 minutes until they are just tender but still have a slight crunch.

Step 3

  1. Combine shrimp and zucchini

    Return the shrimp to the skillet, toss to combine, and cook for another minute until everything is heated through. Sprinkle with red pepper flakes (if using) and fresh parsley.

Step 4

  1. Serve

    Serve immediately with lemon wedges on the side.
