Yellow squash is transformed into sunny strands of "pasta" for this one-pan weeknight dinner. The shrimp is sautéed with butter, garlic, and red pepper flakes.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
Pinch of red-pepper flakes
2 medium yellow squashes (1 pound), trimmed and cut into thin noodles (5 cups)
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons chopped flat-leaf parsley

Directions

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Season shrimp with salt; add to skillet in a single layer. Cook, flipping once, until opaque, about 3 minutes; transfer to a plate.
Reduce heat to medium; add butter, garlic, and red-pepper flakes to skillet. Cook, stirring, about 2 minutes.
Add squash noodles; cook, stirring, until just tender, about 4 minutes. Remove from heat; add lemon juice, parsley, and shrimp. Season with salt. Toss to combine; serve.
