Ingredients
  

1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined

4 medium zucchinis, spiralized into zoodles

1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

3 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh ginger, grated

3 tablespoons olive oil

2 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)

1 tablespoon fish sauce (optional)

1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust for spice preference)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

Sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Zoodles: Start by spiralizing the zucchinis into zoodles using a spiralizer. Set them aside, and if desired, lightly sprinkle with sea salt to draw out moisture and enhance flavor. Pat dry with a paper towel before cooking.

    Marinate the Shrimp: In a bowl, combine shrimp, soy sauce, fish sauce, and red pepper flakes. Let it marinate for about 10-15 minutes while you prepare the vegetables.

      Sauté Vegetables: Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add minced garlic and grated ginger, stirring for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

        Add Shrimp: Place the marinated shrimp into the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

          Stir-Fry Veggies: In the same skillet, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil. Toss in the red bell pepper and snap peas, frying for about 2-3 minutes until slightly tender but still crisp.

            Combine Everything: Add the zoodles to the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the vegetables. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, just until the zoodles begin to soften.

              Finish with Sauce: Return the shrimp to the skillet, drizzle with toasted sesame oil, and toss everything together until well coated. Cook for another minute until heated through.

                Garnish & Serve: Remove from heat, garnish with sliced green onions and sesame seeds. Serve hot and enjoy your fresh and zesty shrimp zoodle stir-fry!
