Craving shrimp scampi? Prep for the week ahead for a low-carb, quick, easy and HEALTHY meal using zucchini noodles!
We’re officially in May.
Summer begins on June 20th.
Which means we’re getting really close to bikini season.
So I’ve put down the donuts.
No wait.
I’ve just put down one of the donuts.
And instead.
I’ve picked this up.
Zucchini noodles!
With a garlic butter sauce.
DUH.
But don’t worry.
I added more garlic, and made it a teensy bit healthier with less butter and a bit of olive oil.
You can’t tell the difference.
And that freshly grated Parmesan on top is LIFE, guys.
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 shallot, minced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more, to taste
- Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- ¼ cup vegetable stock
- 2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 ½ pounds 4 medium-sized zucchini, spiralized
- 2 tablespoons freshly grated Parmesan
Combine butter and olive oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add shrimp, shallot, garlic and red pepper flakes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in vegetable stock, lemon juice and lemon zest; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a simmer; stir in zucchini noodles until heated through, about 1-2 minutes.
Place zucchini into meal prep containers, garnished with Parmesan, if desired.
