Preparation
- Using a coarse cheese grater, slide the zucchini down the grater, shaving of long strips. Rotate the zucchini constantly, grating all sides, until you reach the seeds in the center.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, nonstick skillet.
- Add the shrimp in and season with the salt, black pepper, red pepper, and garlic. Sauté the shrimp, until they evenly begin to show a pink color, about 3 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, and let the liquid come to a simmer.
- Add the zucchini noodles and stir until everything is combined and the shrimp are fully cooked.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley leaves and serve.
- Enjoy!
