How to make it

  1. 1

    First, prepare your zucchini. Use a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles, or use a vegetable peeler to make thin ribbons. Set them aside.

  2. 2

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or pan over medium heat. Once it is warm, add the minced garlic and cook for about one minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it.

  3. 3

    Add the peeled and deveined shrimp to the pan. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until they turn pink and opaque. Do not overcook them, as they can become rubbery.

  4. 4

    Stir in the zucchini noodles. Toss everything together for another 1 to 2 minutes, allowing the zucchini to soften slightly but still retain a little bite.

  5. 5

    Remove the pan from the heat. Squeeze the juice from the whole lemon over the shrimp and zucchini. Serve immediately and enjoy your delicious meal.
