This recipe is originally for 2 servings. How many are you cooking for today?

Ingredients
  • 1 lb raw shrimp, peeled and deveined (about 450 g)
  • 3 mediums zucchinis, spiralized (about 400–450 g)
  • 3 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium lemon, zested and juiced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh chopped parsley
  • 1 teaspoon cracked black pepper
Instructions
1

Pat shrimp dry. Heat a heavy skillet over medium-high heat (no oil). Add shrimp in a single layer and sear 1–2 minutes per side until just cooked; remove and set aside.

2

Reduce heat to medium, add garlic to the hot pan and sauté briefly using a tablespoon of water to prevent sticking; stir until fragrant (about 30–45 seconds).

3

Add spiralized zucchini and a splash of lemon juice to the pan; toss 1–2 minutes until zucchini is slightly softened but still firm.

4

Return shrimp to the pan, add lemon zest, parsley and pepper, toss to combine using pan juices, and serve immediately.
