SHRIMP SCAMPI ZOODLES

Steps:

• Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring, until fragrant and the garlic is just golden, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and lemon zest and cook, reducing the sauce until the alcohol smell is gone and the sauce is a nice golden color, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the shrimp, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the shrimp start to turn pink on the outside but are still translucent inside, about 3 minutes.
• Add the zucchini noodles and toss with tongs until they are well coated with the sauce and have wilted slightly, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with parsley.

• Combine 2 tbsp olive oil, balsamic vinegar, sea salt, black pepper, garlic and basil.

• Before grilling the chicken, combine all of the tomato basil bruschetta ingredients in a medium bowl. (ingredients from the roma tomatoes, down).
• Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve the bowls.
• Remove the chicken from the marinade and place on a grill over medium heat for 10-12 minutes per side.
• While the chicken is grilling, add the remaining 1 tbsp olive oil to a large skillet, then add the zucchini noodles and saute 3-5 minutes.
• Divide the zucchini noodles between two bowls. Once the chicken is grilled, slice it up and place on top of the zoodles. Spoon the bruschetta over the chicken and zoodles.

• Thinly slice the remaining garlic cloves.
• Heat a large high-sided skillet over medium-high heat. Add 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Once the butter melts add the shrimp and cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is pink and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove the shrimp to a plate.
• Turn the heat down to medium-low and add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once the butter melts, add the shallot and sliced garlic. Cook, stirring, until the shallots are slightly soft and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.
• Add the white wine, lemon juice, and 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes. Deglaze the pan, scraping up any brown bits that have formed on the bottom of the pan. Cook until the harsh alcohol smell burns off and the liquid is slightly reduced, about 2 minutes.
• Next, add the zoodles and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the zoodles are slightly softened but still have some bite, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the shrimp back into the pan and toss to combine. Turn off the heat and add the chopped chives and parsley. Serve immediately.
