Ingredients:

  • 700 g peeled medium-sized shrimp
  • 6 cups of noodles from two zucchinis (about 0.5 kg)
  • 6 tbsp (90 g) butter, diced
  • 4 tbsp. l. olive oil

Preparation:

  1. In a large skillet, heat the butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring, for about 2 minutes, until fragrant and the garlic is golden.
  2. Pour in the wine, add the zest, and cook for 4–5 minutes, until the alcohol aroma evaporates and the sauce takes on a pleasant golden hue. Add the shrimp, 0.5 teaspoon of salt, and a pinch of ground black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, for 3 minutes, until the shrimp are pink on the outside but still translucent inside.
  3. Then add the zucchini noodles and stir until completely coated. Simmer for another 3 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

    Culinary advice: Zucchini noodles can be consumed fresh.
  4. Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil and sprinkle with parsley.
