Keto Garlic Butter Shrimp on Zucchini Logs

This simple but satisfying lunch, or part of a main course, is deliciously buttery, lemony, and garlicy! Seasoned shrimp, dripping in garlic butter, are rested on top of zucchini “logs” that have been seasoned as well and grilled to a light char. Serve with extra freshly chopped parsley and lemon wedges for squeezing!

    Lovely dish, very tasty and easy to make. My husband was over the moon as he is a fan of prawns.
