Step By Step

Instructions

Prepare the Shrimp:

1
In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
2
Add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
3
Add the wild-caught U.S. Gulf shrimp to the skillet in a single layer. Season them with salt and black pepper.
4
Cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes on each side until they turn pink and opaque.
5
Squeeze the juice of one lemon over the shrimp and sprinkle with lemon zest and chopped fresh parsley. Toss to coat the shrimp evenly.
6
Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set them aside.

Prepare the Veggie Noodles:

1
In the same skillet, add an additional tablespoon of olive oil.
2
Add the spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until they begin to soften. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
3
Remove the zucchini noodles from the heat.

Assemble the Meal Prep Containers:

1
Divide the cooked zucchini noodles evenly among your meal prep containers.
2
Top each container with a portion of the cooked shrimp and the lemon-garlic sauce from the skillet.
3
Seal the containers and refrigerate until you're ready to enjoy your healthy shrimp scampi-inspired meal.

Serving:

1
When you're ready to eat, simply reheat the meal in the microwave for 2-3 minutes until heated through. Garnish with additional fresh parsley and a lemon wedge if desired.
