Instructions

1
Use a spiralizer to shape the zucchini into noodles. Place them on paper towels and lightly salt them to draw out excess water, then pat them dry.
2
In a large pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil and butter. Add the shrimp, season with salt, pepper, and chili flakes. Cook for 2–3 minutes, until they turn pink.
3
Add the chopped garlic to the pan and sauté for another 1 minute, until fragrant. Remove the shrimp from the pan and place them on a plate (this keeps them juicy).
4
Add the zucchini noodles to the same pan. Sauté, stirring, for just 2 minutes, so they warm through but stay firm (al dente).
5
Return the shrimp to the pan with the zucchini noodles. Pour in the lemon juice, add the zest, and sprinkle with parsley. Mix everything well together.
6
Serve immediately, optionally topped with a little parmesan for extra depth of flavor.
