Step 1
Start by cutting the broccoli stems away from the florets—save the florets for another use. Trim off the tough ends of the stems, then use a vegetable peeler to shave off any thick or knobby parts so the stems are nice and even. Run them through the smallest blade on your spiralizer to make broccoli noodles.

Step 2
Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the broccoli noodles, season with a pinch of salt and pepper, and toss them around for about 3 minutes until they’re just tender. Take them off the heat and set aside for now.

Step 3
In another skillet, warm the remaining olive oil 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 and pink. Once done, transfer them to a bowl.

Step 4
Pour the white wine and lemon juice into the same skillet, then add the butter, chopped basil, chives, and a pinch of red pepper flakes. Whisk everything together over medium heat for about 3 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly. Toss the shrimp back into the skillet and coat them well with the sauce.

Step 5
To serve, divide the broccoli noodles between four bowls and spoon the shrimp and sauce over the top. Enjoy!
