Ingredients

2 zucchini squash
2 tablespoons avocado oil
Salt and pepper to taste
6 large fresh shrimp
Juice of 1 large lemon
2-3 cloves garlic minced
Snap peas to garnish

Instructions

In a large skillet, heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil on medium high heat. Spiralize zucchini noodles into zoodles. Place the zoodles in the oil, add in salt and pepper, and toss for about 5 minutes until slightly cooked and warm. (I don't like to overcook mine, because I like the texture more firm, but feel free to cook as little or long as you like.) Cover and set aside.
In a small pan, heat remaining 1 tablespoon avocado oil. Add in garlic. Place shrimp in pan, squeeze on lemon juice and cook on medium heat in the sauce, about 2 minutes each side. You know your shrimp is done cooking when it forms a "c" shape. Remove shrimp and allow sauce to cook a few minutes longer to develop flavors.
Plate the zoodles, top with shrimp and snap peas, and drizzle with sauce from the shrimp pan. Add an extra squeeze of lemon and salt and pepper as desired. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
