Pad Thai Shrimp on Zoodles


Pad Thai Shrimp on Zoodles
I selected shrimp for this dish, however you can replace it with any protein you choose. That's why I cook the protein first so the rest of the ingredients don't come in contact with raw meat. Hope you all enjoy, I know we did!


Ingredients: Pad Thai Shrimp on Zoodles
  • 3 medium zucchini
  • 2 Tablespoons Olive oil
  • 1pound peeled and de-veined jumbo shrimp
  • 3 cloves garlic minced or crushed
  • 1 red bell pepper julienned
  • 5 green onions long slices of the green end
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 cups bean sprouts
  • 1/2 cup crushed roasted peanuts
  • chopped cilantro for garnish
  • lime wedges
Ingredients for the sauce:
  • 4 Tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 4 Tablespoons fish sauce
  • 6 Tablespoons ketchup
  • 2 teaspoons packed brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper powder
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon soy sauce



Directions:
  1. In a mixing bowl stir all sauce ingredients together and set aside.
  2. Cut the zucchini into noodles using a spiralizer tool.
  3. Heat a large pan on medium heat. Add 1 Tablespoon olive oil and garlic. Cook the garlic about 30 seconds, add shrimp and cook until shrimp is cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.
  4. Add the bell peppers and green onions and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Add the egg and stir with the veggies until egg is cooked.
  5. Add the zucchini noodles, bean sprouts, and sauce mixture to the pan. Stir and cook for about 2 minutes or until zoodles are soft but not soggy. It doesn't take very long and you need to keep taking samples to taste during this phase.
  6. Serve immediately on a plate garnished with cilantro, lime wedges, and topped with crushed roasted peanuts ( I used the bottom of  coffee mug on a small plate to crush).
