Prep

Step 1. Blot the Zucchini with paper towels. Season the Shrimp with half the Salt and the Black Pepper.

Cook

Step 2. Heat the Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook the shrimp in two batches, turning once, until pink and opaque, about 3 minutes per batch; transfer to a plate.
Step 3. Reduce the heat to medium. Melt the Butter, then stir in the Garlic and Red Pepper Flakes until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 4. Add the zucchini and the rest of the Salt. Toss over medium-high heat until just tender but still firm, about 3 minutes.
Step 5. Return the shrimp and any juices to the skillet. Toss until warmed through, about 1 minute, then remove from the heat and stir in the juice of the Lemon.

Finish & serve

Step 6. Divide among plates and sprinkle with Parmesan and Fresh Parsley. Serve with the Baguette for soaking up the juices.
