Instructions

In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Saute garlic until its aroma fills the air, approximately 10 to 15 seconds. Introduce shrimp, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Cook until the shrimp turn a lovely pink, about 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked shrimp to a bowl and set aside.
Add cherry tomatoes and olives to the same skillet, cooking until the tomatoes soften slightly, around 2 to 3 minutes. Incorporate zucchini noodles, oregano, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Continue cooking, stirring often, until the zoodles reach a perfect balance of tenderness and firmness, roughly 3 to 4 minutes.
Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet, then generously top with crumbled feta cheese. Gently toss everything together to combine the flavors, and serve immediately for the best taste experience.
