Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup dry white wine
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 4 cups zucchini, spiralized
- 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated (optional)
Instructions
Start by prepping your ingredients. Peel and devein the shrimp if needed and set them aside. Mince the garlic, and chop the parsley. Spiralize the zucchini or buy pre-spiralized zoodles for convenience.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter and the olive oil until the butter is melted.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer and cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they turn pink and are cooked through. Remove the shrimp onto a plate and set aside.
In the same skillet, pour in the white wine and lemon juice. Scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan using a wooden spoon. Let the mixture reduce for about 2-3 minutes.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the butter is melted and the sauce is well combined.
Add the spiralized zucchini to the skillet, tossing it to coat in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are just tender but still firm (al dente).
Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to combine with the zoodles and sauce. Cook for an additional minute to warm the shrimp back up.
Remove from heat, sprinkle with chopped parsley and grated parmesan cheese, if desired. Serve immediately and enjoy your Keto Shrimp Scampi.
