Loaded with garlic, butter, and parmesan, you won’t miss pasta with this Healthy Shrimp Scampi recipe! This low-carb version uses zucchini noodles which are bright, colorful and so good for you.
Cut the zucchinis into spiral noodles and set them aside.
Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add in garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for 1-2 minutes stirring often.
Add in the shrimp and cook for 4-5 minutes or until they are pink and no longer translucent. Remove the shrimp from the pan and set it aside.
Add the wine to the pan and deglaze the pan by scraping the brown bits off the bottom. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until the liquid has reduced a bit.
Add the zoodles and shrimp back to the pan and cook for 2 minutes or until they start to get tender. Take off the heat and stir in lemon juice. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve immediately with parmesan cheese, crushed red pepper flakes or parsley for serving, if desired.
