SHRIMP WITH ZUCCHINI NOODLES AND LEMON-GARLIC BUTTER RECIPE

Steps:

• Slice each zucchini down its length using a vegetable peeler or on a mandolin, creating long, thin ribbons. Lay the noodles out on paper towels in a single layer and sprinkle them with salt. Leave them to "sweat" for about 10 minutes.
• In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Tilt and swirl the pan gently to move the butter around. The butter will foam a bit, then begin to smell nutty and turn amber with small brown solids on the bottom.
• Once this happens, immediately pour butter into a heat-proof bowl, jar, or cup. Use a spatula to scrape all of the browned bits into the bowl. Add the minced garlic to butter and set aside.
• Pat the cleaned shrimp with a paper towel to remove any excess moisture, then toss them with a heavy pinch of salt and a pinch of pepper in a large bowl.
• Wipe the skillet used to melt the butter clean. Return it to medium-high heat. When the skillet is hot (but not smoking) add just enough oil to coat the bottom of the pan.
• Working in batches, cook the shrimp for about 2 minutes on each side. They should be pink and opaque, but not curled up too tightly. Transfer to a plate.
• Pat the excess moisture from the noodles. Place the skillet back over medium high heat, and add a bit of cooking oil (just enough to coat).
• Toss the zucchini gently in the pan so that it just begins to lose its stiffness. The whole process shouldn't take more than 3 minutes. Remove the pan from heat.
• Whisk lemon zest and juice into the brown butter and garlic. Off the heat, add the shrimp back to the pan with the zucchini and pour the lemon-garlic butter over top.
• Toss to combine. Transfer to a serving platter or individual plates. Top with fresh parsley and serve.

ZUCCHINI NOODLES WITH AVOCADO PESTO & SHRIMP

Steps:

• Using a spiral vegetable slicer or a vegetable peeler, cut zucchini lengthwise into long, thin strands or strips. Stop when you reach the seeds in the middle (seeds make the noodles fall apart). Place the zucchini "noodles" in a colander and toss with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let drain for 15 to 30 minutes, then gently squeeze to remove any excess water.
• Meanwhile, combine avocado, basil, pistachios, lemon juice, pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a food processor. Pulse until finely chopped. Add 1/4 cup oil and process until smooth.
• Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds. Add shrimp and sprinkle with Old Bay; cook, stirring occasionally, until the shrimp is almost cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil to the pan. Add the drained zucchini noodles and gently toss until hot, about 3 minutes. Transfer to the bowl, add the pesto and gently toss to combine.
