Instructions
Prepare the Zucchini Noodles
Spiralize the zucchini and lay the noodles on paper towels. Sprinkle lightly with salt and let them sit for 5 minutes to draw out excess moisture, then pat dry.
Cook the Garlic
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced garlic and red pepper flakes, cooking gently for 2 minutes until the garlic is golden and fragrant.
Saute the Shrimp
Increase heat to medium-high and add the shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 2 minutes per side until they are pink and opaque. Add the lemon juice and zest and toss to combine.
Toss with Zucchini Noodles
Add the dried zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss everything together over medium heat for just 1 to 2 minutes. Do not overcook the zoodles or they will become watery.
