Method

  1. Toss the zucchini noodles with the salt in a colander and leave 10 minutes, then wring them dry in a towel; unsalted, they release their water straight into the pan.
  2. Cook the garlic gently in the oil in a 12-inch (30cm) skillet over medium-low heat for 2 minutes, until pale gold. Raise the heat, add the broccoli and pepper for 4 minutes, then the shrimp for 90 seconds a side, until pink and opaque.
  3. Off the heat, add the zucchini and lemon juice; the warmth of the pan is all they need.
Chef’s tipAcid first: Plenty of lemon, off the heat. Scampi without acid is just garlic butter.
KeepBest eaten straight away. Cooked shrimp keeps 1 day.
