start by heating 2 tbsp of olive oil over medium heat in a large pan.

chop up your zucchini & garlic and set aside. cover all of the shrimp in 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and black pepper. add to the pan and fully cook, about 5 minutes each side. remove from the pan and set aside.
Step 3
in the same pan, add the garlic and zucchini and sauté until the zucchini is browned on each side. stir continuously so the garlic does not burn.
Step 4
remove the zucchini and garlic and set aside. add in the spaghetti and immediately cover with 4 cups of water & sprinkle in some additional salt. cover the pan.
Step 5
after about 5 minutes, uncover and stir so the pasta does not stick to the pan. add additional water as needed if all of the water has been absorbed. cover again and cook for an additional 3-5 minutes, until the pasta is al dente and easily stirred.
Step 6
turn heat to low and mix in the coconut milk, lemon juice, & lemon zest. add back the shrimp, zucchini, & garlic.
