Use a spiralizer or your favorite device to turn the zucchini segments into vegetable noodles. Set aside.
Heat the olive oil in a large frying pan on medium heat, add the garlic and cook gently for about two minutes, taking care not to burn the garlic. Stir in the zucchini noodles and the hot pepper and cook for 3 minutes, until the noodles are tender. Mix in the crab, lemon zest, juice and mint, toss it all together gently and season with pepper. Taste it to see if you’d like to add more lemon or hot pepper or salt. Serve and enjoy.
Recipe Notes
If you’re a wine drinker, this dish would be terrific with chilled white Gruner Veltliner, a dry reisling, or prosecco.
