Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined shrimp seasoned with 3/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then remove and set aside.
  2. Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp sesame oil and 4 minced garlic cloves along with 1/2 tsp red chili flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, careful not to burn the garlic.
  3. Step 3: Add 3 spiralized medium zucchinis to the skillet and stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still firm.
  4. Step 4: Return the cooked shrimp to the pan, drizzle with 2 tbsp soy sauce and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice. Toss everything together for 1 minute until heated through and coated in sauce.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat and garnish with 2 sliced green onions before serving this light and flavorful keto stir-fry.
