Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 2 medium Zucchini, sliced into rounds
- 2 tsp Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 0.5 tsp Salt
- 0.25 tsp Black pepper
- 0.125 tsp Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice
- 2 tbsp Fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and set aside.
Heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Add the zucchini rounds to the skillet and sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon of salt and a pinch of black pepper.
Cook the zucchini for 3-4 minutes per side, or until lightly browned and tender. Remove the zucchini from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
Add the remaining 1 teaspoon of olive oil to the skillet, then add the minced garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Sprinkle them with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on one side until pink and opaque, then flip and cook for an additional 2 minutes on the other side.
Drizzle the cooked shrimp with lemon juice and sprinkle with fresh parsley.
Return the zucchini to the skillet and toss gently to combine with the shrimp.
Serve warm and enjoy!
