In the same skillet, add the zucchini noodles.
Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they are just tender but still crisp.

Prepare the Yogurt Sauce:
In a small bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, a pinch of salt, and chopped fresh dill.

Plate the Dish:
Arrange the cooked zucchini noodles on one side of the plate.
Place the cooked shrimp on top of the zucchini noodles.
On the other side of the plate, place a small bowl or ramekin containing the Greek yogurt sauce.
Garnish the yogurt sauce with a sprinkle of chopped fresh dill for presentation if desired.
