Add 3 minced cloves garlic and cook until aromatic, about 1 minute.
Add the chili powder and paprika and cook until the flavors open up about 30 seconds.

Transfer the sauce mixture to a food processor.
Add 2 Tbsp extra-virgin olive oil, 1.5 tsp red wine vinegar, 1 tsp salt, and .5 tsp black pepper.
Blend on low speed until the sauce is smooth, then pour into a serving dish or glass storage.

Bring to a boil 2 cups of water in a large pot over medium-high heat, add the shrimp.
Melt 2 TBSP ghee in a large skillet over medium heat, swirling to coat the bottom of the pan.
Add .25 finely chopped onion and cook, stirring, until translucent, about 2 minutes.

Drain the water from the shrimp, add the shrimp to the skillet. Coat the shrimp with onion, garlic mixture, stirring for 2 minutes.
Add .25 cup of water and cover the skillet with a lid.
Cook until the shrimp form the shape of a "C", 4-6 minutes. Transfer to a serving bowl (draining any remaining water), and season with the salt and pepper.

After you add the water and cover the shrimp, place a colander or steamer inside the large pot of boiling water. Add the zucchini noodles, cover, and steam until the zucchini is al dente in texture, 2-3 minutes. Drain the "zoodles" and transfer to a serving dish or individual plates.
Sprinkle the shrimp with the parsley, toss, and spoon over the zoodles. Spoon the Romesco sauce over the shrimp and zucchini and serve
