6 servings

  • 4 medium zucchinis
  • 1 tablespoon oil
  • 1 lb medium shrimp, or large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • ¼ cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 1 lemon, juiced
  • fresh parsley, for garnish

Instructions

  • Using a coarse cheese grater, slide the zucchini down the grater, shaving of long strips. Rotate the zucchini constantly, grating all sides, until you reach the seeds in the center.
  • Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, nonstick skillet.
  • Add the shrimp in and season with the salt, black pepper, red pepper, and garlic. Sauté the shrimp, until they evenly begin to show a pink color, about 3 minutes.
  • Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, and let the liquid come to a simmer.
  • Add the zucchini noodles and stir until everything is combined and the shrimp are fully cooked.
  • Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley leaves and serve.
  • Enjoy!
