For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the skillet along with the tomatoes and olives. If fresh oregano is available, use 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh oregano in place of the dried oregano. To prevent the zoodles from becoming watery, you can lightly salt them before cooking and let them sit for 10-15 minutes. Then, gently squeeze out any excess moisture before adding them to the skillet. This dish pairs perfectly with a crisp white wine or a light rosé.

Follow The Directions
01
StepIn a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, about 10-15 seconds. (Tip: Be careful not to burn the garlic!)
02
StepAdd the shrimp to the skillet, season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Cook until the shrimp turn pink and opaque, approximately 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the cooked shrimp to a bowl and set aside.
03
StepAdd the halved cherry tomatoes and chopped Kalamata olives to the skillet. Cook until the tomatoes begin to soften and release their juices, about 2-3 minutes.
04
StepAdd the zucchini noodles, dried oregano, lemon juice, sea salt, and freshly ground black pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring frequently, until the zoodles are tender yet still slightly firm to the bite, about 3-4 minutes. (Tip: Overcooking will result in mushy zoodles, so keep a close eye on them!)
05
StepReturn the cooked shrimp to the skillet. Sprinkle the crumbled feta cheese over the top. Toss gently to combine all the ingredients, ensuring the shrimp is heated through and the feta is evenly distributed.
06
StepServe immediately, allowing your guests to savor the fresh and vibrant flavors of the Mediterranean.
