Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 lemon, zested and juiced
- 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant, about 1 minute. Toss in the shrimp, seasoning with salt and pepper, and cook until they turn pink, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice and zest, cooking for another minute to combine the flavors.
Add the spiralized zucchini to the skillet, carefully mixing it with the shrimp and garlic butter. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the zucchini is just tender, but still firm. Serve immediately, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side.
