01
Step 1
Start by trimming the broccoli stems—cut off the woody ends and peel away any tough spots so the stems are nice and smooth. Then, use a spiralizer with the smallest blade to turn the stems into noodles. Set the florets aside for another use.
02
Step 2
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Toss in the broccoli noodles, season with a bit of salt and pepper, and cook for about 3 minutes until they're just tender. Take them off the heat and set them aside.

Step 3
In another pan, warm up the rest of the olive oil along with the garlic over medium heat. Let the garlic cook for about a minute until fragrant, then add the shrimp. Cook the shrimp for around 3 minutes on each side, until they turn opaque. Once done, transfer the shrimp to a bowl.

Step 4
Pour in the wine and lemon juice to the same pan, then add butter, chopped basil, chives, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Whisk everything together over medium heat for a few minutes until the sauce comes together. Toss the shrimp back in and coat them well with the sauce.

Step 5
Divide the broccoli noodles between four bowls, then top each serving with the shrimp and that flavorful sauce. Enjoy!
