GARLIC BUTTER ZUCCHINI NOODLES
I’m not the only one. Since my wedding diet was abandoned months ago, I doubt that I will be able to follow a summer diet.
You can use zucchini noodles instead of the carb-laden pasta. The taste and flavor will not be affected.
Really.
It’s low-carb goodness, I tell you! We have buttery, garlicky zucchini noodles with pan-seared lemon and garlic shrimp.
No, this is not diet food. This is the most buttery, super-slim, and quick dish with the shortest list of ingredients.
Ingredients
- Divide four tablespoons of unsalted butter into four equal portions.
- Four cloves of garlic, divided and minced
- 1 pound 3 medium-sized zucchini, spiralized*

- Peeled and deveined 1 pound medium Shrimp
- Lemon zest two teaspoons

Instructions

- Melt the remaining butter in the pan. Stir frequently while cooking the remaining two garlic cloves and shallot for about 2 minutes.
