Garlic Shrimp Scampi Zucchini Noodles
First of all, eating with healthy zucchini noodles is not new to our repertoire because we’re super obsessed with zoodles. Second of all, we absolutely love creating zoodle recipes because not only are they low fat and healthier, but they’re just darn delicious! We don’t miss all that starch pasta and there’s so much less calories and guilt even when we decide to add extra cheese. Today we made a fantastic version of shrimp scampi with zucchini noodles and it was a hit! Oh goodness, this is so easy to make and it’s all in a one pot, basically a skillet zucchini noodles with garlic shrimp.

Garlic Shrimp Zucchini Noodles
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini
- 1 pound (454 g) shrimp , shelled and de-veined
- 2 Tablespoons (30 ml) butter (or olive oil)
- 3 cloves garlic , minced (or to taste)
- 3/4 cup (75 g) parmesan cheese (approximately)
- kosher salt or sea salt , to taste
- black pepper , to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon (1.25 ml) red chili flakes
- Lemon wedges , optional
Equipment
Instructions
- Cut zucchini into spirals or noodle strands using the vegetable spiralizer or julienne peeler. Set aside noodles.
- Heat large pan on medium-high heat. Melt butter/olive oil, then add garlic and shrimp. Cook shrimp until pink and cooked through. Don't let the garlic burn.
- Add zucchini noodles and cook until tender, about 3-5 minutes. Zucchini noodles cook really fast, so taste a strand as you cook and decide how firm or "al-dente" you want the zucchini. Don't overcook the zucchini noodles or else they'll become mush.
- Remove the pan from the heat, add parmesan cheese, squeeze some lemon juice and season generously with salt and pepper to taste. Add chili flakes then serve warm.
