Ingredients

Instructions

  • In a large skillet, heat the butter, then add the garlic and crushed red pepper and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add shrimp to the pan and season with salt and pepper and paprika; cook until shrimp turns pink, 2-4 minutes, depending on their size, and remove with a slotted spoon.
  • Add the vegetable broth, red wine vinegar and lemon juice to the sauce leftover in the pan, scraping the sides, and cook until sauce thickens slightly.
  • Turn off heat, then toss the spiralized zucchini with the shrimp to warm slightly. Serve with Parmesan cheese and fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 2-3 days in the fridge. However, the zoodles will absorb a lot of liquid by the second day, so it's best to enjoy this the same day
