Zucchini Noodles With Shrimp Scampi
Ingredients
- 5 zucchini
- 1 1/2 pounds shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- Salt (to taste)
- Freshly ground black pepper (to taste)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons garlic (minced)
- 3 teaspoons lemon zest
- 1/4 cup dry vermouth
- 1/3 cup lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons parsley (finely chopped)
- 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- Parmesan cheese (for serving)
Method
Create zoodles by running the zucchini through a spiralizer.
Season the shrimp with the salt and pepper.
Heat the butter and oil in a pan over medium heat. Once the butter melts, add garlic and shrimp. Cook shrimp for 2 to 3 minutes, until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp and set aside.
Add lemon juice and vermouth to the butter, oil, and garlic mixture, scraping up any browned bits (also known as fond) stuck to the pan. Bring to a simmer for 1 to 2 minutes to cook off the alcohol.
Add lemon zest, chopped parsley, and red pepper flakes and stir to combine.
Add the zucchini and saute for an additional 1 to 2 minutes until the “noodles” become slightly tender and are coated in the sauce.
Stir the shrimp back into the noodles. Serve with freshly grated parmesan cheese.
