Ingredients:

  • 1 pound shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 lemon, zested and juiced
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • 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.
  5. Add the heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, and lemon juice to the skillet. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened.
  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.
  • Feel free to add other vegetables to the dish, such as bell peppers, mushrooms, or asparagus.
  • Serve the shrimp scampi with a side of cauliflower rice or mashed cauliflower for a complete meal.
