Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 lb shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 2 medium zucchini (sliced into half moons)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
  • Juice of 1 lemon
  • Salt and pepper (to taste)
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan (optional)

Instructions

  • Prep your ingredients. Slice the zucchini, mince the garlic, and pat the shrimp dry.
  • Cook the shrimp. Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove and set aside.
  • Cook the zucchini. In the same skillet, add the remaining olive oil and zucchini slices. Season with salt and pepper, and cook for 4-5 minutes until browned and tender.
  • Add garlic and spices. Lower the heat and add minced garlic, paprika, Italian seasoning, and red pepper flakes. Stir constantly to avoid burning.
  • Combine everything. Return the shrimp to the skillet, squeeze lemon juice over, and toss to combine. Cook for 1-2 more minutes to meld the flavors.
  • Finish with Parmesan. Remove from heat and sprinkle with Parmesan. Serve hot.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, feel free to add fresh herbs like parsley or basil.
  • This dish can be customized with cherry tomatoes or a drizzle of pesto.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat in a skillet for best results.
