Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 300 grams large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 200 grams squid, cleaned and sliced into rings
- 3 pieces zucchini, medium-sized
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 1 piece lemon, juiced
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped

Instructions
Begin by spiralizing the zucchini into noodle-like strips using a spiralizer. Set the zucchini noodles aside.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes, and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shrimp and squid to the skillet. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp turn pink and opaque and the squid is cooked through.
Squeeze in the juice of one lemon and add salt and black pepper. Stir well to combine.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss with the seafood mixture. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, until the zucchini noodles are just tender but not soggy.
Remove from heat and stir in the chopped fresh basil.
Serve immediately, garnished with optional grated parmesan cheese if desired.
