Begin by preparing your zoodles. Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchinis into noodles. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the shrimp, season with salt and pepper, and cook until they turn pink, about 2-3 minutes per side. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the butter and minced garlic. Sauté until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute.
Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer, then lower the heat and continue to simmer for about 5 minutes, until the sauce starts to thicken.
Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese until it melts into the cream, creating a smooth Alfredo sauce.
Add the zoodles to the skillet, tossing them in the Alfredo sauce to cook slightly, about 2 minutes – they should remain al dente.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss everything together until the shrimp are heated through and coated with the sauce.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if necessary.
Serve hot, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.

For a thicker sauce, allow the Alfredo to simmer for an additional 1-2 minutes or until the desired consistency is reached.

If you do not have a spiralizer, use a vegetable peeler to create thin zucchini ribbons.

Ensure not to overcook the zoodles to maintain their pasta-like texture.

Customize this dish by adding a pinch of red pepper flakes for a spicy kick or a squeeze of lemon juice for a touch of brightness.
