Serves 2
1 Tb olive oil
2 Tb butter
4 cloves garlic: two cloves sliced and two crushed
½ of a red bell pepper, seeded and slivered
2 zucchini, grated
Salt & pepper
½ tsp red pepper flakes
1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp
In a medium-sized skillet, melt the butter in the olive oil. Add the sliced garlic cloves and sauté for about three minutes. Add the red bell pepper and sauté for another three minutes. Add the zucchini, the crushed garlic, red pepper flakes, and salt and pepper, and sauté for about 6 minutes until the zucchini softens and becomes brilliant green and slightly translucent. Add the shrimp and sauté for two to three more minutes until they turn pink, at which point they’ll be done.
Divide into individual serving bowls and enjoy.
