Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 medium Zucchini
- 1 pound Raw shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
- 0.5 teaspoons Red pepper flakes
- 1 whole Lemon (juiced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
Instructions
Wash and trim the ends off the zucchini. Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Set them aside on a clean kitchen towel to absorb moisture.
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, stirring constantly for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the raw shrimp to the skillet. Season them with salt and ground black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes on one side until they turn pink, then flip them over and cook for another 2 minutes until fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.
In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the prepared zucchini noodles and sauté for 2-3 minutes until they are slightly softened but still al dente.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the zucchini noodles. Drizzle the lemon juice over the mixture and toss everything together to combine.
Sprinkle the dish with chopped fresh parsley and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed.
Serve immediately, garnished with extra parsley if desired. Enjoy your Whole30-approved spaghetti with garlic shrimp!
