This tangy shrimp dish is a smart way to cut carbs without sacrificing flavor. If you don't have a spiralizer, you can use thinly julienned zucchini to get a similar effect. —Brigette Schroeder, Yorkville, Illinois

Ingredients

3 tablespoons butter, divided
1 shallot, minced
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup tequila
1-1/2 teaspoons grated lime zest
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound uncooked shrimp (31-40 per pound), peeled and deveined
2 medium zucchini, spiralized (about 6 cups)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper

Directions

In a large cast-iron or other heavy skillet, heat 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add shallot and garlic; cook 1-2 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in tequila, lime zest and lime juice. Cook over medium heat until liquid is almost evaporated, 2-3 minutes.
