Ingredients: -3 medium zucchini -1 pound wild shrimp -2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil -2 tablespoons butter -1/2 lemon -3 garlic cloves -1 shallot -1 large handful fresh Italian parsley -1/3 cup Italian white wine -1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes -salt and pepper to taste Directions: -Prep all ingredients before you begin cooking by peeling and removing the vein from the shrimp, crushing the garlic, and mincing the shallot and parsley. -If you did not buy your zucchini noodles pre-cut, use your Spiralizer or other tool to cut them into noodle shapes. -Pat the shrimp dry and season generously with salt and pepper. In a large pan, preheat on medium high and then add a small amount of olive oil along with the shrimp. Sear the shrimp for 1 minute on each side. -After both sides of the shrimp are seared, remove them from the pan, turn the heat down to medium low, and then add a little more of the cold olive oil which will bring down the temperature in the pan. Add in the shallot and garlic. Cook for about 1 minute, stirring constantly and taking care not to burn. -After 1 minute, add in the crushed red pepper flakes and continue to stir. -After 30 seconds, deglaze the pan by adding in the Italian white wine. Turn the heat back up to medium high and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Cook until the liquid reduces significantly in volume. -Reduce the heat to medium and juice the half lemon into the sauce, then add in the butter. Stir the scampi sauce until the butter is almost completely melted. -Once butter has almost disappeared into the sauce, add in the zucchini noodles. Stir them around well to incorporate. Add more salt and pepper if you desire. Cook for about 3 minutes. -Add back in the shrimp and stir to incorporate everything. Turn off the heat. -With the heat off, add in the Italian parsley and stir the shrimp scampi with zucchini noodles until thoroughly mixed. -Serve and enjoy!
