Lemon Zucchini Spaghetti with Shrimp

Lemon Zucchini Spaghetti with Shrimp
  • 1/2 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil, or to taste, divided
  • 2 zucchini
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 lemon, zested, or to taste
  • 1/2 cup fresh spinach (optional)
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon capers, drained


  1. Season shrimp lightly with salt and pepper.
  2. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shrimp; cook until opaque, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer to a bowl.
  3. Cut zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer fitted with the large shredding blade. Chop up into slightly shorter pieces.
  4. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in the same skillet over medium heat. Add zucchini noodles, garlic, 1/2 teaspoon sea salt, and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. Cook and stir until slightly softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add lemon zest, spinach, and chicken broth. Cook until liquid reduces by 1/4, about 5 minutes. Stir in the shrimp and capers. Cook until shrimp is warmed through, about 1 minute more. Drizzle the remaining olive oil on top.
