lemon Garlic Butter Shrimp with Zucchini Noodles
300 calories per serving; excluding the mushrooms
If you love shrimp and Garlic, this may be your next favorite recipe! My fiancee wants me to make it at least once a week!
I bought my spiralizer from Amazon for a little over twenty dollars. “Spiralizer Ultimate 7 Strong and Heavy Duty Blades“; it's great for Keto, Paleo, Gluten-free dieting. It suctions to the counter so that it won't move when using it.
So far I've only used it for spiralizing zucchini, but it came with 4 recipe eBooks that I look forward to exploring later.
Let's get to the recipe now! One of the best recipes I've found in a long time!
Ingredients:
- 1 pound medium shrimp (peeled and deveined)
- 4 medium zucchini
- 8 ounces, sliced mushrooms
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 4 tbsp butter or ghee, softened and divided
- 4 garlic cloves chopped or minced garlic
- 1 tsp Italian seasoning
- Red pepper flakes, to taste
- 1/2 fresh lemon, juice (or 1/4 cup bottled lemon juice)
- 1/4 cup Chicken stock (Vegetable stock taste pretty awesome if you can find it)
- Hot sauce, the best choice in my opinion – Sriracha
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup fresh parsley
To Prepare:
- To prepare this lemon garlic butter shrimp with zucchini zoodles, begin by washing and trimming the ends of the zucchini.
- Using a spiralizer, make the zucchini pasta.
- Remove the tails from shrimp and rinse.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp in one layer and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook the shrimp for one minute without stirring, so the bottom of the shrimps get slightly browned.
- Move the shrimp over to one side of the pan and add the mushrooms (optional) to the other side of the pan, allowing them to cook for a minute or so.
- Add chopped or minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes, then stir the shrimp for another minute or two to cook the shrimp on the other side. Transfer the grilled shrimp to a shallow plate.
- In the same pan, add the remaining butter, lemon juice, chicken or vegetable stock, and hot sauce to the pan.
- Bring the sauce to a simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Stir in the zucchini noodles and cook until done, about 2 minutes, stirring regularly.
- Add the grilled shrimp back to the pan and stir for another minute. Serve immediately or portion out into 4 serving size bowls for a later meal.
This recipe serves 4. We love it so much that I double the recipe and separate it into serving size bowls, and wrap in saran wrap for later in the week. You could also put it in containers that can be placed in the freezer.
It works out great for busy families! Who isn't' busy these days?
