Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and crushed red pepper flakes, cooking until fragrant for about 1 minute.

Add shrimp to the skillet and season with paprika, salt, and black pepper. Sauté until shrimp turn pink, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove shrimp with a slotted spoon and keep covered.
03 -
Pour vegetable broth, lemon juice, and red wine vinegar into the skillet. Scrape the bottom to release browned bits and bring to a boil.

Turn off heat, add zucchini noodles and cooked shrimp back to the skillet. Toss gently to warm without overcooking the noodles.

Immediately transfer shrimp and zucchini noodles to plates. Garnish with grated Parmesan cheese if desired.

Store leftovers in an airtight container and consume within 2 to 3 days. Zucchini noodles absorb liquid quickly and are best enjoyed fresh.
