Spicy Shrimp & Zucchini Noodle Stir-Fry

A quick and flavorful stir-fry featuring succulent shrimp, zesty zucchini noodles, and a vibrant ginger-garlic sauce. Perfect for a weeknight dinner!

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound peeled and deveined shrimp
  • 2 large zucchinis, spiralized
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 inch ginger, grated
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more to taste)
  • 1/4 cup chopped cilantro
  • Sesame seeds, for garnish

Instructions:

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook for 30 seconds, until fragrant.
  2. Add the shrimp to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Add the zucchini noodles to the skillet and stir-fry for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened but still crisp-tender.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, honey, sesame oil, and red pepper flakes. Pour the sauce over the zucchini noodles and cook for 1 minute, until heated through.
  5. Add the shrimp back to the skillet and toss everything together until well combined.
  6. Garnish with chopped cilantro and sesame seeds. Serve immediately over rice or quinoa (optional).
