Scampi Zoodles
Courgette (zucchini) noodles stand in for pasta in this low-carb prawn scampi makeover. And you may not even need a spiraliser (the special gadget that makes veggies into curlicues). Check your supermarket produce section: some shops sell spiral-cut courgette.
Ingredients
Method
Special equipment: a vegetable spiraliser
- Heat the butter and 2 tablespoons oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Once the butter melts, add the garlic and red pepper flakes, and cook, stirring, until fragrant and the garlic is just golden, about 2 minutes. Add the wine and lemon zest and cook, reducing the sauce until the alcohol smell is gone and the sauce is a nice golden colour, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the prawns, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until the prawns start to turn pink on the outside but are still translucent inside, about 3 minutes.
- Add the courgette noodles and toss with tongs until they are well coated with the sauce and have wilted slightly, about 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Transfer to a serving bowl, drizzle with the remaining 2 tablespoons olive oil, sprinkle with parsley.
