Ingredients:
Makes 6 servings.
2 pounds jumbo shrimp, peeled and deveined
9 garlic cloves, minced
4 tbsp lemon juice
1 tsp lemon zest
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped fine
2 small red serrano chili pepper, minced
4 tbsp olive oil 6 large zucchini
1 1/2 tbsp salt 2 tsp black pepper or to taste
1/4 cup dry white wine (optional)
Preparation:
1. Wash the zucchini and slice them into pasta with a mandolin or spiral slicer. Set aside.
2. In a small bowl combine the garlic, chili, parsley, lemon zest, salt, pepper and 2 tbsp of olive oil. In a separate bowl, pour half of the mixture over the shrimp and toss to coat. Let sit for 10 minutes.
3. In a large skillet, heat 1 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat. Add the shrimp along with the mixture and lemon juice to the skillet. Cook the shrimp for 3 minutes or until pink. Remove the shrimp from the skillet. If using white wine, add to the pan to deglaze.

Meal Prep Tip:
Traditional shrimp scampi uses butter and wine, but this scampi has a healthier twist. You can give it a thai twist by substituting coconut oil and adding crushed peanuts as a garnish. Go crazy this Valentine's Day!
