Method

2. Heat half the olive oil in a large pan over high heat and sear the zucchini for 4 minutes until tender-crisp.
3. Remove the zucchini from the pan and set aside.
4. In the same pan, heat the remaining oil and add the garlic, chili flakes, and half the spring onion.
5. Add the shrimp and cook over high heat for 2-3 minutes, tossing constantly.
6. Season generously with plenty of black pepper and a pinch of salt.
7. Return the zucchini to the pan and toss everything together for 30 seconds.

Tips

• Keep the heat high to sear the shrimp quickly without making them rubbery.
• If you prefer a milder taste, remove the seeds from the chili flakes or use less pepper.
