- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1/2 cup white wine
- 1/2 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Shrimp Scampi
- Heat the butter and olive oil to a large skillet over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add the garlic and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring frequently.
- Add the white wine, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes and increase the heat to simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 2-3 minutes.
- Place the shrimp in the pan, trying not to overlap them. Cook for 2-3 minutes, turning occasionally, until pink and opaque.
- Stir in half of the lemon juice and parsley. Taste and add more lemon juice, if desired. Keep the scampi on warm while you prepare the zucchini noodles.
Zucchini Noodles
- To cook the zucchini noodles, season the zoodles with salt and pepper.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and add the seasoned zoodles. Cook, stirring often, until fork-tender, about 2 minutes.
- Add the shrimp and sauce to the pan with the zucchini and toss to combine.
- Garnish with extra fresh parsley, if desired.

Notes
Tips and Techniques
- Use fresh, spiralized zucchini for the best taste and texture. Frozen zoodles will likely give you a mushier, less desirable texture.
- Store any leftovers in an air-tight container in the refrigerator. Use within 3-4 days.
