Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Spiralize the 2 medium zucchini into noodles and set aside. Pat the 1/2 lb shrimp dry with paper towels.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove shrimp to a plate.

  3. Step 3

    Reduce heat to medium. Add 2 minced garlic cloves and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Pour in 1/2 cup heavy cream and 1/2 tsp salt, stirring until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.

  4. Step 4

    Add the zucchini noodles and cooked shrimp back to the skillet. Toss gently with tongs until the noodles are coated and just warmed through, about 2 minutes. Serve immediately.
