Shrimp Scampi with Zoodles

Print Recipe

A light and flavorful low-carb version of shrimp scampi, using zucchini noodles (zoodles) instead of pasta. Quick to prepare and perfect for a healthy dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • 1/4 cup dry white wine or chicken broth
  • 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Instructions

  1. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  2. In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and garlic. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Add red pepper flakes (if using), then pour in the white wine or chicken broth and lemon juice. Simmer for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.
  4. Add the zoodles to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes, tossing to coat, until just tender.
  5. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss with the zoodles. Cook for another minute to warm everything through.
  6. Season with salt and pepper, sprinkle with chopped parsley and Parmesan if using. Serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use pre-spiralized zucchini to save time.
  • Don’t overcook the zoodles to avoid sogginess.
  • White wine adds depth, but broth works well as a substitute.
