STEP BY STEP

1) Using a spiraliser turn the zucchini’s into long zucchini noodles. Place the zucchini noodles in a colander and toss with 1/4 teaspoon salt. Let drain for 15 minutes, then gently squeeze to remove any excess liquid.

Add prawns and cook, stirring, until the prawns are just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat and add lemon juice, parsley, pepper and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt; stir to combine. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside.
3) Heat the remaining 1 tablespoon oil in the skillet over medium-high heat. Add zucchini and gently toss until hot, about 3 minutes. Pour the shrimp mixture over the zucchini and gently toss to combine. Serve sprinkled with Parmesan and a squeeze of lemon.
