Skinny Shrimp Scampi with Zucchini Noodles

By

First tried 9/13/2015. Easy and very good.
Seemed a little spicy, maybe use less garlic next time. Also could use more zucchini noodles as they shrink when cooked--try doubling. On mandoline use 1/8 inch thick on julienne slicer.

Preparation

Step 1

Place a large saute pan over medium-low heat. Add the olive oil and heat for 1 minute. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook them for 1 minute, stirring constantly.

Add the shrimp to the pan and cook them, stirring as needed, until they are cooked throughout and pink on all sides, about 3 minutes. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and then using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a bowl, leaving any liquid in the pan.

Increase the heat to medium. Add the white wine and lemon juice to the pan. Using a wooden spoon, scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, cooking the wine and lemon juice for 2 minutes. Add the zucchini noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes. Return the shrimp to the pan and toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with parsley and serve immediately.
