Instructions
- Step 1: Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 8 oz peeled shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque, then remove and set aside.
- Step 2: In the same skillet, add 2 minced garlic cloves and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in 1 teaspoon grated fresh turmeric and cook for 30 seconds to release flavor.
- Step 3: Pour in 1/2 cup full-fat coconut milk and bring to a gentle simmer. Add 3 medium spiralized zucchini noodles and cook for 4-5 minutes until tender but still crisp, stirring occasionally until sauce thickens slightly.
- Step 4: Return shrimp to the skillet, add 1 tablespoon lime juice, and toss to coat. Garnish with 2 tablespoons chopped cilantro before serving.
