Serving Size

4

Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive or avocado oil
  • 2 pounds asparagus sliced
  • 10 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 dashes salt
  • 2 teaspoons crushed red pepper, optional
  • 1⁄2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 pounds shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1⁄4 cup lemon juiced
  • 4 medium zucchinis spiralized into noodles

Directions

  • Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the asparagus, garlic, salt, and black pepper. If using, add crushed red pepper for a spicy kick. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until asparagus is bright green and tender-crisp.
  • Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring often, until the shrimp are opaque and fully cooked. Stir in lemon juice, mixing well. Transfer the shrimp and asparagus to a plate and set aside.
  • Add spiralized zucchini noodles and sauté in the same skillet for 1-2 minutes, just until slightly softened but still firm. Return the shrimp and asparagus mixture to the skillet and toss gently to combine.
  • Remove from heat and serve immediately, garnished with additional lemon slices or fresh herbs if desired.
