Preparation

Step 1

1. Prepare spaghetti according to package directions.

2. Spray a sauté pan with cooking spray and bring to medium heat.

3. Add the garlic and crushed red pepper flakes and cook them for 1 minute, stirring constantly to avoid burning.

4. Add the shrimp to the pan and cook thoroughly until they are pink on all sides (about two minutes).

5. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper and then using a slotted spoon, transfer them to a bowl, leaving all liquid in the pan.

6. Add the white wine vinegar/vegetable stock and lemon juice to the pan. Using a wooden spoon, scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the pan, cooking the vinegar/stock and lemon juice for two minutes.

7. Add the zucchini noodles and stir occasionally for two minutes.

8. Return the shrimp to the pan, add cooked whole wheat pasta and toss to combine.

9. Season with salt and pepper and garnish with parsley.
