- 1 tsp. pepper flakes optional
- 2 tbsps. butter
- 3 tsps. black pepper
- 2 tbsps. olive oil
Instructions
- Spiralize the zucchinis to make the zoodles.

Notes
- You can make this with either shrimp or chicken if you like.
- If you want to make this dish more hearty and add some carbs, you could do a 50-50 mix of zucchini noodles and whole wheat pasta.
- If you don't have a spiralizer you can julienne the zucchini with a vegetable peeler. A mandoline slicer is also good for wide 'noodles'.
- Don’t overcook the zoodles as they’ll become mushy. Zucchini noodles will cook quickly!
