"We love shrimp scampi, but have decided to cut back where we can on heavy carbs. This is the perfect solution! I will be swapping out pasta for veggie noodles quite frequently now!"
1Make zucchini noodles using a spiralizer or julienne peeler.
2Melt butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pour in olive oil. Add shallot; cook and stir until tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Add minced garlic; cook until golden, about 2 minutes. Stir in wine and lemon juice; cook until sauce is reduced by almost half, about 3 minutes. Add shrimp, salt, and black pepper. Cook until shrimp turn pink, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp to serving plate.
3Stir zucchini noodles into skillet. Season with salt and black pepper. Cook until noodles are tender, 4 to 6 minutes. Return shrimp to the skillet. Stir in parsley and Parmesan cheese before serving.
