Time 1h

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 14

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

Steps:

  • 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.
  • Cut off the ends of the zucchini and use a spiralizer on the thinnest setting to create the zoodles.
  • 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.
  • Remove the skillet from heat and add zucchini; stir for 2 to 3 minutes. The residual heat will cook the zucchini.
  • Divide onto 2 plates, top with fresh parsley, and serve.

This dish was a disaster. The shrimp were rubbery and the sauce was bland. The zoodles were the only saving grace, but they couldn't make up for the rest of the dish.
