Instructions
Use a spiral cutter to cut 4 meduim zuccinni into zoodles and set them aside.
Melt butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add shrimp, garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook, stirring occasionally, until pink, about 2-3 minutes.
Stir in chicken stock and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper, to taste. Bring to a simmer; stir in zucchini noodles until well combined, about 1-2 minutes.

Notes
The following is just a suggestion for advanced chefs. I don't do this.Salt and mix the zucchini with salt and let sit to get the water out of the zucchini. This will make them more noodley. Before you put these in the mixture with the shrimp and things you will need to rinse them with cold water (NOT WARM OR HOT). If you rinse with warm water it will open the pores and the salt will get in there and and your noodles will be too salty.
