Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp avocado oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb raw shrimp, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Cook shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and opaque. Remove shrimp and set aside.

Step 3: Add 3 spiralized large zucchinis to the skillet along with 3 tbsp coconut aminos and 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes. Toss and cook for 3-4 minutes until zucchini noodles are tender but still slightly crisp.
