Instructions

Instructions

1
Spiralize the zucchini into noodle-shaped strands. Spread them on a clean kitchen towel, sprinkle lightly with salt, and let them sit for 10 to 15 minutes to release excess moisture. Pat dry before cooking.
Sweat zucchini
4 whole zucchini (medium, spiralized)
¾ tsp sea salt (for sweating)
2
Melt the ghee in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and saute just until fragrant, about 30 to 60 seconds. Pour in the bone broth, add the sea salt, red pepper flakes, and black pepper. Let the mixture simmer until it reduces by roughly half, about 2 minutes.
Reduce sauce
¼ cup ghee (or grass-fed butter)
5 clove garlic (minced)
⅓ cup chicken bone broth
½ tsp sea salt
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (large pinch)
⅛ tsp black pepper
3
Add the shrimp to the skillet in a single layer and cook until they turn pink and opaque, roughly 3 to 4 minutes depending on size. Stir only once or twice so they get a slight sear.
Cook shrimp
1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
4
Remove the skillet from heat. Stir in the lemon juice and chopped fresh parsley. Meanwhile, heat a splash of olive oil in a separate skillet and saute the zucchini noodles for about 2 minutes using tongs. Toss the noodles with the shrimp scampi and serve right away.
Saute zoodles
1½ tbsp lemon juice
⅓ cup fresh parsley (minced)
1 tbsp olive oil (for sauteing noodles)
