SHRIMP SCAMPI ZOODLES

Steps:

• Grate 3 of the garlic cloves and add to a large mixing bowl. Add the shrimp, 2 tablespoons of olive oil, lemon zest, 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Whisk to combine. Slice the remaining 3 cloves of garlic and set aside.
• 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.
