INGREDIENTS:

• 2 lbs. raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 tbsp. olive oil
• 8 tbsp. butter, divided
• 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
• 2 tsp. garlic, minced
• ½ c. chicken stock
• 8 c. fresh, raw zucchini noodles
• 1 fresh lemon, cut into wedges
• salt and pepper to taste

STEP 1: Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter with the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the shrimp with salt and pepper, then add the shrimp to the pan in one layer and sauté for 1 minute without stirring.

STEP 2: Add the Italian seasoning and minced garlic to the pan and stir the shrimp. Continue to sauté the shrimp until fully cooked, about 2 more minutes.

STEP 3: Remove the shrimp from the pan and place on a plate; set aside.

STEP 4: Add the remaining butter and the chicken stock to the juices already in the pan.

STEP 5: Add the zucchini noodles and sauté for about 2-3 minutes, stirring often, until just beginning to soften.

STEP 6: Add the cooked shrimp back to the pan and stir together with the zoodles. Add a squeeze of lemon and serve the shrimp and zoodles hot with extra wedges of lemon.
