## Ingredients
* 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined
* 4 medium zucchini, spiralized
* 4 tbsp butter, unsalted
* 4 cloves garlic, minced
* 1/4 cup chicken broth
* 1 tbsp lemon juice, fresh
* 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped
* Salt and black pepper to taste
* Red pepper flakes (optional, for a little heat)
## Instructions
1. **Prepare the Zucchini Noodles:** If you haven’t already, use a spiralizer to turn your zucchini into noodles. Set them aside.
2. **Cook the Shrimp:** In a large skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. **Make the Sauce:** In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
4. **Combine:** Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, and bring to a simmer. Let the sauce reduce for 2-3 minutes. Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet.
5. **Add Zucchini Noodles:** Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss everything together to coat the noodles in the sauce. Cook for 2-3 minutes, until the zucchini noodles are tender but still have a slight crunch. Do not overcook, as they can become watery.
6. **Serve:** Remove from heat, stir in the fresh parsley, and season with salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Serve immediately and enjoy!
