1️⃣ Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel and season lightly with salt and pepper.
2️⃣ Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
3️⃣ Add shrimp to the skillet and cook for about 2 minutes per side, until pink and cooked through. Remove shrimp and set aside.
4️⃣ In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and olive oil. Stir in minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
5️⃣ Add zucchini noodles to the skillet, tossing well to coat in the garlic butter. Cook for 2–3 minutes, just until slightly tender (don’t overcook — you want them to stay a little crisp).
6️⃣ Squeeze lemon juice over the zucchini noodles, then add the shrimp back to the pan and toss everything together.
7️⃣ Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve hot!
