Steps

1. 1

   Pat shrimp dry and season with salt and pepper.

2. 2

   In a large skillet, melt butter with olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and red pepper flakes (if using) and cook for 1 minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

3. 3

   Add shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque.

4. 4

   Stir in lemon juice and chopped parsley. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

5. 5

   Add zucchini noodles to the same skillet. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, just until tender-crisp. Do not overcook, as they will release water.

6. 6

   Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the zucchini noodles. Toss gently to combine and coat everything in the sauce.

7. 7

   Serve immediately, perhaps with an extra sprinkle of fresh parsley.
