Follow The Directions

01

Step

Prepare the Broccoli Noodles: Cut off broccoli florets and reserve for another use (or roast them for a delicious side!). Trim the woody ends from the broccoli stems. Using a vegetable peeler, carefully shave off any large knots or tough outer layers from the stems to ensure uniform texture. Employ a spiralizer with the smallest blade to transform the stems into delicate noodles. (Prep time: 15 minutes)

02

Step

Sauté the Broccoli Noodles: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the prepared broccoli noodles, season generously with salt and pepper, and toss continuously for approximately 3 minutes, until the noodles are tender-crisp and lightly cooked. Remove from the skillet and set aside to prevent overcooking. (Cook time: 3 minutes)

03

Step

Cook the Shrimp: In the same skillet, heat the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute, or until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook until they turn opaque and pink, approximately 3 minutes per side. Once cooked through, transfer the shrimp to a bowl and set aside. (Cook time: 7 minutes)

04

Step

Create the Scampi Sauce: Pour the white wine and lemon juice into the skillet, deglazing the pan by scraping up any browned bits from the bottom. Add the butter, minced basil, chopped chives, and crushed red pepper flakes. Whisk continuously over medium heat for about 3 minutes, allowing the sauce to emulsify and slightly thicken. (Cook time: 3 minutes)

05

Step

Combine and Serve: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and toss to coat evenly in the luscious scampi sauce. Spoon the sautéed broccoli noodles into four serving bowls. Generously top with the shrimp scampi mixture. Serve immediately and enjoy!

For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of grated Parmesan cheese to the finished dish.
If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use a julienne peeler or simply slice the broccoli stems into thin strips.
Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper to your preference for spiciness.
Ensure the shrimp are thoroughly dried before cooking to achieve a better sear.
