Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons olive oil, divided
• 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped, divided
• ½ teaspoon dried parsley
• ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1 pinch red pepper flakes
• ½ pound uncooked medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 medium zucchini
• 1 tablespoon butter
• ¼ cup finely diced shallot
• 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons white wine
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest, not packed
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Cooking Directions

1. Mix 1 tablespoon olive oil, 1 garlic clove, dried parsley, black pepper, and red pepper flakes together in a small bowl; mix well. Add shrimp, turn to coat, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
2. Cut off the ends of the zucchini and use a spiralizer on the thinnest setting to create the zoodles.
3. Heat remaining olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Saute shallot for 3 minutes; add remaining garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds. Add shrimp and cook until bright pink on the outside and meat is opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Add lemon juice, wine, lemon zest, and salt. Cook and stir for 1 minute.
4. Remove the skillet from heat and add zucchini; stir for 2 to 3 minutes. The residual heat will cook the zucchini.
5. Divide onto 2 plates, top with fresh parsley, and serve.
