In a large frying pan, warm the butter over medium heat. Add the shallots and garlic and cook until soft and fragrant (2 – 3 minutes), stirring occasionally. Increase the heat to medium-high then add the shredded zucchini and thyme to the pan, stirring to combine. Cook until the zucchini caramelizes a bit and reaches a spreadable consistency (about 20 – 30 minutes), stirring occasionally. Season to taste with kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper.*
