Instructions

1. 1Prepare the about 450 g of shrimp by peeling and deveining them. Prepare the 4 medium zucchini by using a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles.
2. 2Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat, which is about 175°C.
3. 3Add the 4 cloves of minced garlic and 1/4 teaspoon of red pepper flakes to the hot skillet. Cook, stirring constantly, until the garlic is fragrant, which should take about 1 minute. Be careful not to let the garlic burn.
4. 4Add the prepared about 450 g of shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Cook for 3-5 minutes, turning them halfway through, until the shrimp are pink and opaque and reach an internal temperature of 63°C.
5. 5Add the zucchini noodles and 3 tablespoons of lemon juice to the skillet. Cook, tossing gently, for 2-3 minutes until the zucchini noodles are tender-crisp. You want them to still have a slight bite.
6. 6Remove the skillet from the heat. Season the dish with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper.
7. 7Serve the Portuguese Shrimp and Zucchini Noodles immediately.
