SAMPLE RECIPE: Garlic Shrimp with Zucchini “Fettuccine”
You don’t need any special equipment to make zucchini noodles; all you need is a vegetable peeler. To turn zucchini into wide “zoodles,” peel lengthwise, making long, flat strips.
1. In a large nonstick pan, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Add the shrimp and cook until pink, about 3 minutes.
2. Add the zucchini noodles. Cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes.
3. Add the garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 30 seconds.
4. Add the lemon juice and zest, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Continue to cook for 2 minutes more, then serve immediately.
