How to Make Shrimp Scampi With Spaghetti And Zucchini

  1. Clean 1 pound of shrimp and pat them dry.
  2. Set aside.
  3. Melt 4 tablespoons of margarine in a large skillet over medium heat.
  4. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1/4 cup chopped green onion, 4 cloves minced garlic, 2 tablespoons lemon juice, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, until fragrant and bubbly (about 1 minute).
  5. Add the shrimp and cook, stirring constantly, until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes per side.

  7. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and set aside in a bowl.
  8. Add 2 medium zucchini, thinly sliced, to the skillet. Stir-fry over medium heat until tender-crisp, about 3-4 minutes.
