Fuel Your Day: Effortless High-Protein, Low-Carb Meal Ideas

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1

   Pat the peeled and deveined shrimp very dry with paper towels. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper. Ensure shrimp are evenly coated.
2. 2

   Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add the seasoned shrimp in a single layer. Cook for 1-2 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove cooked shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
3. 3

   Using the same skillet, add the spiralized zucchini noodles. Sauté over medium-high heat for 3-5 minutes, tossing frequently, until tender-crisp. Avoid overcooking to prevent mushiness.
4. 4

   Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the zucchini noodles. Squeeze the lemon juice over everything and toss gently to combine and heat through for about 30 seconds. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
5. 5

   Serve immediately, garnished generously with fresh chopped parsley.
