1. Preparation Heat a large skillet to medium, add olive oil and prosciutto.
2.  Sauté the prosciutto for 2 minutes, then add in the garlic to cook for an additional minute.

5.  Cook on medium low heat with an offset lid for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

7.  Cut each end off the zucchini and spiralize using a Veggie Spiralizer.
8.  Cut into traditional spaghetti size pieces and set aside.
9. After 25 minutes of cooking the sauce, add in the shrimp and cook for 5 more minutes.
10. Add the zucchini noodles onto your plate, top with the shrimp and grated parmesan cheese.
11.  Garnish with some fresh basil leaves.
