Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium
• Shrimp (peeled and deveined) - 200 grams
• Scallops - 100 grams
• Garlic - 3 cloves, minced
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Cherry tomatoes - 150 grams, halved
• Fresh parsley - 2 tablespoons, chopped
• Lemon juice - 1 tablespoon
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Crushed red pepper flakes - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer or peeler to create zucchini noodles and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
3. Add the shrimp and scallops to the skillet, cooking until they turn opaque, about 3-4 minutes for shrimp and 2-3 minutes for scallops.
4. Stir in the halved cherry tomatoes, lemon juice, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes until the tomatoes soften.
5. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss everything together gently, cooking for another 2-3 minutes until the zucchini is just tender.
6. Remove from heat, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately.
