Instructions
Spiralize and Prep
Spiralize the zucchini into noodles and pat them dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture. Mince the garlic and set all ingredients near the stove before heating.
Cook the Shrimp
Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque then remove from the pan.
Make the Garlic Butter Sauce
Add the remaining butter and garlic to the same pan and cook for 1 minute until fragrant. Add red pepper flakes and lemon juice and stir to combine.
Combine and Serve
Add zucchini noodles to the pan and toss for 1 to 2 minutes until just tender. Return shrimp to the pan, toss everything together, and serve immediately.
