- 3 medium zucchini (spiralized into noodles)
- 3 tbsp unsalted butter
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced

- 1/2 lemon, juiced
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Instructions:
-
Prepare the Zucchini Noodles:
- Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles). Pat them dry with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Set aside.
-
Cook the Shrimp:
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the shrimp to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.
-
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:
- In the same skillet, lower the heat to medium. Add the remaining butter and olive oil.
- Stir in the minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using), and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
-
Combine Everything:
- Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss them gently in the garlic butter sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly tender but not mushy.
- Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and squeeze fresh lemon juice over the mixture. Stir to combine.
-
Finish and Serve:
- Sprinkle the dish with grated Parmesan cheese and chopped parsley.
- Serve immediately and enjoy a warm, flavorful, and keto-friendly meal.
