Ingredients

  • 1 lb. raw shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 tbsp. olive oil
  • 4 tbsp. butter divided
  • 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ c. chicken stock
  • 6 c. fresh, raw zucchini noodles
  • 1 fresh lemon cut into wedges
  • salt & pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Melt 2 tablespoons of the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add the shrimp to the pan in one layer and sauté for 1 minute without stirring. 

  2. Add the Italian seasoning and minced garlic to the pan and stir the shrimp. Continue to sauté the shrimp until fully cooked, about 2 more minutes. Remove the shrimp from the pan and place on a plate; set aside.

  3. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and the chicken stock to the juices already in the pan. Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for about 2 minutes, stirring often, until just beginning to soften. 

  4. Add the cooked shrimp back to the pan and stir together with the zoodles. Add a squeeze of lemon and serve the shrimp and zoodles hot with extra wedges of lemon.
