Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions for al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, trim the top and bottom off of each squash. Peel the squash in ribbons into a colander, using a vegetable peeler, turning the squash as you peel. Stop peeling the squash when you only have the center core of seeds left. Discard the core and seeds.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water, and then drain the pasta over the squash ribbons. Put in a medium bowl and toss to evenly distribute the pasta with the squash ribbons.
- Toss the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and some pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, spread into a single layer and cook without stirring, until just turning pink around the edges, about 2 minutes. Stir the shrimp, add the tomatoes, garlic and pepper flakes and continue to cook until the tomatoes have softened and the garlic has toasted, about 1 minute. Add the pasta and squash ribbons, broth and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook, tossing, until warmed through and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Add the pasta water a bit at a time, if needed, if the noodles seem dry.
- Season with additional salt and pepper. Divide among 4 bowls and top with the chives.

You can mix the zucchini and shrimp together if you want before serving. I like the difference in the textures when you look at it but it is not necessary. Enjoy

Tips:
- Use fresh shrimp for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen shrimp, thaw them completely before cooking.
- Use a large skillet or sauté pan so that the shrimp and zucchini have plenty of room to cook.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when cooking the shrimp. Cook them in batches if necessary.
- Cook the shrimp until they are just opaque and pink. Overcooking will make them tough and rubbery.
- Add the zucchini to the pan after the shrimp have been cooked. Cook the zucchini until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
- Use a good quality olive oil for the best flavor. Extra virgin olive oil is a great choice.
- Add a squeeze of lemon juice to the shrimp scampi just before serving for a bright, citrusy flavor.
- Serve the shrimp scampi immediately over spaghetti or zucchini noodles.
Conclusion:
Shrimp scampi is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is packed with flavor. It is a great way to use up leftover shrimp or zucchini. This dish is also a good source of protein and healthy fats. Serve it over spaghetti or zucchini noodles for a complete meal.
