Instructions
Prepare the Zoodles
Spiralize the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler. Place them on a paper towel and press gently to remove excess moisture before cooking.
Cook the Garlic
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sliced garlic and red pepper flakes and cook for 2 minutes until the garlic is golden and fragrant.
Cook the Shrimp
Add the shrimp to the pan in a single layer and cook for 2 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Do not overcrowd the pan or the shrimp will steam instead of sear.
Toss and Serve
Add the zucchini noodles to the pan with lemon juice and zest. Toss everything together for 2 minutes until the zoodles are just tender but still have a slight bite.
