    • 1 pound zucchini, spiralized into noodles

    Instructions:

    1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper.
    2. Once the oil is shimmering, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until they turn pink and opaque.
    3. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside. Add the garlic to the skillet and cook for 1 minute, or until fragrant.
    4. Stir in the white wine and cook for 1 minute, or until the wine has reduced by half.

    6. Add the shrimp back to the skillet and stir to coat in the sauce.
    7. In a separate skillet, heat a little olive oil over medium heat. Add the zucchini noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are tender but still have a slight crunch.
    8. Serve the shrimp scampi over the zucchini noodles and garnish with chopped parsley.

    Tips:

    • For a richer flavor, use a combination of olive oil and butter to cook the shrimp.
    • If you don\’t have dry white wine, you can substitute it with chicken broth or vegetable broth.
