Keto Garlic Shrimp Pasta

Keto Garlic Shrimp Pasta is a delightful low-carb twist on a classic Lebanese dish, featuring succulent shrimp sautéed in a rich garlic and olive oil sauce, served over zoodles instead of traditional pasta.

Ingredients

• Zucchini - 2 medium
• Shrimp (peeled and deveined) - 300 grams
• Garlic (minced) - 4 cloves
• Olive oil - 3 tablespoons
• Lemon juice - 2 tablespoons
• Parsley (chopped) - 2 tablespoons
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red pepper flakes - 1/4 teaspoon
• Parmesan cheese (grated) - 30 grams

Steps

1. Spiralize the zucchini using a spiralizer to create zucchini noodles (zoodles) and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
3. Add the shrimp to the skillet and season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes. Cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp are pink and cooked through.
4. Pour in the lemon juice and stir to combine.
