Instructions

Step 1: Heat 1 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add 1 lb peeled and deveined raw shrimp seasoned with 1/2 tsp sea salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Sauté for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp turn pink and opaque. Remove shrimp from skillet and set aside.
Step 2: In the same skillet, add remaining 1 tbsp olive oil and 4 minced garlic cloves along with 1/2 tsp red chili flakes. Sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, then add 3 spiralized medium zucchinis. Toss and cook for 3-4 minutes until noodles soften but retain some bite.
Step 3: Return shrimp to the skillet and pour in 3 tbsp coconut aminos and 1 tbsp fresh lime juice. Stir well to coat noodles and shrimp evenly. Sprinkle 2 sliced green onions on top and serve immediately for a light and flavorful stir-fry.
