Ingredients

• 250 grams Shrimp
• 250 grams Scallops
• 2 medium Zucchini
• 1 medium Bell pepper
• 150 grams Broccoli florets
• 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce (low sodium)
• 2 tablespoons Oyster sauce
• 1 tablespoon Ginger
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 3 stalks Green onions
• 0.5 teaspoon Red chili flakes
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 0 to taste Salt
• 0 to taste Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the ingredients: peel and devein the shrimp, and pat both the shrimp and scallops dry with paper towels.

Step 2

Spiralize the zucchinis to create zucchini noodles (zoodles) or use a vegetable peeler to slice them into thin strips.

Step 3

Thinly slice the bell pepper, chop the broccoli into small florets, mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

Step 4

In a large pan or wok, heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp and scallops to the pan, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until they are opaque and cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside.

Step 5

In the same pan, add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and a pinch of red chili flakes, sautéing for about 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the broccoli and bell pepper to the pan, stir-frying for 4-5 minutes until the vegetables are tender-crisp.

Step 7

Add the zucchini noodles to the pan, along with the cooked seafood. Pour in the soy sauce and oyster sauce, tossing everything together to combine and heat through for about 3 minutes.

Step 8

Add sliced green onions and drizzle with sesame oil, giving one final toss to mix everything well.

Step 9

Serve the low carb seafood chow mein hot, garnished with additional green onions if desired.
