Steps:
- Using a coarse cheese grater, slide the zucchini down the grater, shaving of long strips. Rotate the zucchini constantly, grating all sides, until you reach the seeds in the center.
- Heat the oil over medium-high heat in a large, nonstick skillet.
- Add the shrimp in and season with the salt, black pepper, red pepper, and garlic. Sauté the shrimp, until they evenly begin to show a pink color, about 3 minutes.
- Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, and let the liquid come to a simmer.
- Add the zucchini noodles and stir until everything is combined and the shrimp are fully cooked.
- Sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley leaves and serve.
- Enjoy!

RIBBONY SHRIMP AND PASTA SCAMPI
Medium-size shrimp are the perfect size for a twirl of spaghetti shot through with ribbons of squash. Have vegetarians at the table? Omit the shrimp, double the tomatoes and serve with a spoonful of part-skim ricotta cheese on top.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the spaghetti and cook according to package directions for al dente.
- While the pasta cooks, trim the top and bottom off of each squash. Peel the squash in ribbons into a colander, using a vegetable peeler, turning the squash as you peel. Stop peeling the squash when you only have the center core of seeds left. Discard the core and seeds.
- Reserve 1/4 cup of the pasta water, and then drain the pasta over the squash ribbons. Put in a medium bowl and toss to evenly distribute the pasta with the squash ribbons.
- Toss the shrimp with 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt and some pepper. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, spread into a single layer and cook without stirring, until just turning pink around the edges, about 2 minutes. Stir the shrimp, add the tomatoes, garlic and pepper flakes and continue to cook until the tomatoes have softened and the garlic has toasted, about 1 minute. Add the pasta and squash ribbons, broth and the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Cook, tossing, until warmed through and most of the liquid has been absorbed. Add the pasta water a bit at a time, if needed, if the noodles seem dry.
- Season with additional salt and pepper. Divide among 4 bowls and top with the chives.
SHRIMP SCAMPI WITH SPAGHETTI AND ZUCCHINI
You can mix the zucchini and shrimp together if you want before serving. I like the difference in the textures when you look at it but it is not necessary. Enjoy
