Shrimp & Zucchini Noodles

parmesan cheese

🥗Healthier: nutritional yeast

💰Cheaper: grated pecorino

Nutritional yeast adds a cheesy flavor with fewer calories.

Spiralize zucchini into noodles (zoodles). Lightly salt them and let sit for 10 minutes to release water. Pat dry with paper towels.

Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high.

Season shrimp with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes. Sear for 1–2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.

In the same skillet, add remaining olive oil and garlic. Cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Stir in lemon juice and zest.

Add zoodles to the skillet and toss quickly, cooking just 2–3 minutes until tender-crisp. Do not overcook, or they’ll get watery.

Return shrimp to skillet. Toss everything together, adjust seasoning, and finish with fresh parsley.

Serve immediately, topped with grated Parmesan and extra lemon wedges.
