Ingredients

For the Shrimp Piccata:

1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
½ tsp salt
¼ tsp black pepper
2 tbsp unsalted butter
¼ cup chicken broth
¼ cup lemon juice
¼ cup dry white wine
2 tbsp capers, drained
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

For the Zoodles:

4 medium zucchini (about 2 lbs or 900g), spiralized
1 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

Begin by preparing your zoodles. Use a spiralizer to turn the zucchini into noodles. Set aside.
Season the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon of butter over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and cook until they are pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Remove shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
In the same skillet, add the chicken broth, lemon juice, and white wine. Bring to a simmer and let the sauce reduce by half, which should take about 5 minutes.
Stir in the capers and remaining tablespoon of butter. Return the shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat in the sauce. Sprinkle with chopped parsley.
While the sauce is reducing, heat the olive oil in another skillet over medium heat. Add the spiralized zucchini noodles and sauté until just tender, about 3-4 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the shrimp piccata over a bed of zoodles. Garnish with additional parsley if desired.

Notes

For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the white wine with additional chicken broth.

Ensure your shrimp are completely thawed if using frozen.

Adjust the amount of lemon juice to your preference for a more or less tangy sauce.
