    Zucchini noodles in a garlicky pan sauce, topped off with seared shrimp and a sprinkle of fresh chives – sounds like dinner!

    This recipe features the zucchini noodles cooked right in the same sauce as the shrimp, so the noodles really get a big boost of flavor, and they aren’t just hanging around in a big pile of blandness at the bottom of the bowl.

    Garlic Shrimp With Zucchini Noodles

    White wine adds a sophisticated touch to the sauce, but if you’re completely avoiding alcohol for any reason, it’s not necessary. If you do want to use the wine, try to get an actual bottle of wine, not cooking wine – cooking wine usually has a huge amount of salt added, so it can really throw off the seasoning.

    This recipe uses spiral-cut zucchini noodles. The easiest way to get those long, thin spirals is to use a spiralizer or a mandolin.

    If you don’t have either, it would also be possible to adapt this recipe to use shorter zucchini shavings that you can get from an ordinary kitchen grater: the twirl-around-your-fork effect isn’t the same, but it tastes just as good.
