For best results, pat the zucchini noodles dry with paper towels before cooking to remove excess moisture. Adjust the amount of garlic and lemon juice to your personal preference. Don't overcook the shrimp, or they will become rubbery. They should be pink and slightly curled. Serve immediately for the best texture. A pinch of red pepper flakes can add a nice touch of heat.

StepPrepare the Zucchini Noodles: Using a spiralizer or julienne peeler, create zucchini noodles. Set aside. (5 minutes)
