Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Shrimp Florentine Zoodles.
Step 1
To start your delicious shrimp and zucchini noodle dish, grab a large skillet and warm up 1 tablespoon of butter along with a splash of olive oil over medium heat.
Step 2
Once it’s nice and hot, toss in the zucchini noodles, minced onion, chopped garlic, and sprinkle in half a teaspoon of salt.
Step 3
Stir occasionally as you cook this vibrant mixture for about 5 minutes, or until the zoodles are tender and the onion becomes beautifully translucent.
Step 4
Once done, transfer this colorful medley to a bowl and set it aside for now.
Step 5
In the same skillet, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter.
Step 6
Add the shrimp and a bit more minced garlic, cooking until the shrimp turn a lovely pink hue, which should take around 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 7
Next, stir in some fresh spinach, a squeeze of lemon juice, a pinch of red pepper flakes for a little kick, black pepper, and the rest of that half teaspoon of salt.
Step 8
Let this cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, just until the spinach starts to wilt and everything melds together beautifully.
Step 9
Now, it’s time to bring it all back together! Return the zoodle mixture to the skillet and give everything a good stir, heating it through for about 2 to 3 minutes.
Step 10
The aroma will be irresistible! Serve your delightful creation immediately, and enjoy a dish that’s not only healthy but bursting with flavor.
Step 11
Happy cooking!.
