24 shrimp, peeled and deveined (6 shrimp each, we recommend 16/20 size)

Steps:

  • Zucchini Noodles (spaghetti).
  • There are 3 methods you can use.
  • If you have a mandolin, adjust to julienne setting and CAREFULLY slice zucchini into strips.
  • There are vegetable "julienne" peelers which do an EXCELLENT job of doing this and can be found in just about any kitchen supply store nowadays.
  • If you are handy with a knife, you can slice them by hand, but this is very labor and time intensive.
  • * We recommend getting the vegetable "julienne" peeler. It is safe and effective.
  • Making the scampi:.
  • In medium hot large sauté pan, add oil, garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes until translucent (about 1 minute).
  • Add shrimp and cook JUST until turning pink (2-3 minutes) remove from pan and reserve on plate.
  • * Don't worry, they will finish cooking later.
