- There are 3 methods you can use.
- If you have a mandolin, adjust to julienne setting and CAREFULLY slice zucchini into strips.
- There are vegetable "julienne" peelers which do an EXCELLENT job of doing this and can be found in just about any kitchen supply store nowadays.
- If you are handy with a knife, you can slice them by hand, but this is very labor and time intensive.
- * We recommend getting the vegetable "julienne" peeler. It is safe and effective.
- Making the scampi:
- In medium hot large saute pan, add oil, garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes until translucent (about 1 minute).
- Add shrimp and cook JUST until turning pink (2-3 minutes) remove from pan and reserve on plate.
- * Don't worry, they will finish cooking later.
- Add wine and lemon juice and reduce for 2-3 minutes.
- Add zucchini noodles and shrimp back to pan and toss carefully for another 2-3 minutes.
