Ingredients

• 3 medium-sized Zucchini (for zoodles)
• 1 pound Raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 2 medium-sized Bell peppers (mixed colors, sliced)
• 1 medium-sized Carrot (julienned)
• 2 cups Broccoli florets
• 3 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 1 teaspoon Fresh ginger (grated)
• 3 tablespoons Soy sauce or tamari (for gluten-free)
• 1 tablespoon Oyster sauce (optional, omit for stricter low-carb)
• 1 tablespoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil or avocado oil
• 2 stalks Green onions (sliced)
• 0.5 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 0 Black pepper (to taste)
• 0 Salt (to taste)

Directions

Step 1

Prepare the zucchini noodles (zoodles) using a spiralizer or vegetable peeler. Set them aside in a colander and lightly sprinkle with salt to draw out excess moisture.

Step 2

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat.

Step 3

Add the raw shrimp to the skillet and season lightly with black pepper. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until the shrimp are pink and fully cooked. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add 1 tablespoon of olive oil or avocado oil. Add the minced garlic and grated ginger, cooking for 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 5

Add the sliced bell peppers, julienned carrot, and broccoli florets to the skillet. Stir-fry the vegetables for 4-5 minutes until tender-crisp.

Step 6

Meanwhile, combine the soy sauce or tamari, sesame oil, and oyster sauce (if using) in a small bowl. Whisk until well mixed.

Step 7

Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet with the vegetables. Toss everything together and cook for 2-3 minutes until the zoodles are heated through but not overly soft.

Step 8

Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet and pour the sauce over the mixture. Toss everything until well coated, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Step 9

Sprinkle with sliced green onions and red pepper flakes (if using) before serving.

Step 10

Serve hot and enjoy your low-carb stir-fried noodles!
