Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 pound Medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 large Zucchini, spiralized into noodles
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 cloves Minced garlic
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.75 cup Parmesan cheese, freshly grated
- 2 tablespoons Parsley, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Season the shrimp with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, ensuring each shrimp is coated evenly.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Cook for about 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce heat to medium-low and gradually whisk in the Parmesan cheese until the sauce is smooth and thickened.
Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss them in the Alfredo sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the noodles are just tender, but not mushy.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and gently mix with the noodles and sauce to warm through.
Serve immediately, garnished with chopped parsley on top for a fresh touch.
