Lemon-Garlic Shrimp Scampi with Roasted Zucchini Noodles

A light and flavorful take on classic shrimp scampi, featuring vibrant zucchini noodles instead of pasta.

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 medium zucchini, spiralized into noodles
  • 1 tablespoon butter

Instructions:

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Toss zucchini noodles with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 8-10 minutes, or until tender-crisp.
  2. While zucchini noodles are roasting, heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add garlic and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
  3. Pour in white wine and lemon juice; bring to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Stir in parsley and red pepper flakes (if using).
  4. Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-5 minutes per side, or until pink and cooked through. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside. Add butter to the skillet and swirl to melt. Pour sauce over roasted zucchini noodles.
  6. Divide zucchini noodles among plates and top with shrimp. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
