Who’s ready for that summer diet?

Yeah, me neither. My wedding diet went out the window months ago so I probably won’t get around to that summer diet either.

But, I can definitely incorporate some zucchini noodles here instead of that carb-loaded pasta without compromising any kind of taste or flavor.

Really.

I mean, hello, it’s low-carb goodness! And we have garlicky, buttery zucchini noodles topped with the most perfect pan-seared lemon garlic shrimp.

So no, we’re not calling this diet food. It’s just super skinny and super buttery and super quick with the shortest ingredient list of all.

  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, divided

  • 2 teaspoons lemon zest

Directions:

  1. Melt 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 2 cloves garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  2. Stir in zucchini noodles until just tender, about 2-3 minutes; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside and keep warm.
  3. Melt remaining 3 tablespoons butter in the skillet. Add remaining 2 cloves garlic and shallot, and cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
  4. Add shrimp; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes. Stir in lemon zest and parsley.

Notes:

*This is the spiral slicer that I use. It’s so easy to use – it honestly just takes minutes to spiralize!
