- To ensure the shrimp are cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that they have reached an internal temperature of 145 degrees Fahrenheit.
- If you don't have white wine, you can substitute chicken broth or water.
- Be careful not to overcook the zucchini noodles as they will become mushy.
