Garlic Butter Shrimp with Zoodles
This dish is my go-to when I want something that feels fancy but takes barely any time. Juicy shrimp sautéed in a golden garlic-lemon butter sauce, twirled over fresh zucchini noodles—it’s light enough for summer but rich enough to feel indulgent. Whether it’s a solo dinner treat or a quick date night, this meal hits all the right notes.
