Shrimp Skewers with Zucchini Noodles

Instructions

1. In a bowl, combine half the olive oil, lemon juice (reserve some for the zucchini noodles), half the minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Add the shrimp and toss to coat evenly. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes in the refrigerator.
2. In a large pan, heat the remaining olive oil over medium heat. Add the remaining garlic and sauté until fragrant. Add the zucchini noodles, tossing for 2-3 minutes until just tender. Season with salt, pepper, and the reserved lemon juice. Set aside.
3. Thread the marinated shrimp onto skewers. Heat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill the shrimp skewers for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until the shrimp are opaque and slightly charred.
4. Divide the zucchini noodles among plates. Top with shrimp skewers. Garnish with chopped parsley, grated Parmesan, cherry tomatoes, and sliced almonds, if using.
5. Prepping: Cool the cooked components before packaging if planning for meal prep. Store the zucchini noodles and shrimp separately in airtight containers. Reheat the shrimp gently, and toss the noodles at room temperature with a little extra lemon juice or olive oil to refresh.
