Ingredients
  

1 lb (450g) large shrimp, peeled and deveined

2 medium zucchini, spiralized (or 4 cups of pre-packaged veggie noodles)

1 bell pepper (any color), thinly sliced

1 cup snap peas, trimmed

3 cloves garlic, minced

1-inch piece ginger, freshly grated

3 tablespoons soy sauce (or tamari for a gluten-free option)

2 tablespoons sesame oil (divided)

1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)

2 green onions, sliced (for garnish)

1 tablespoon sesame seeds (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium bowl, mix together shrimp, 1 tablespoon of sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, and red pepper flakes. Ensure the shrimp are well coated. Allow to marinate for about 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

    Prepare the Noodles: If you are using fresh zucchini, use a spiralizer to create thin, noodle-like strands. If opting for pre-packaged veggie noodles, prepare them according to the package instructions and set aside.

      Heat the Pan: In a large skillet or wok, heat the remaining tablespoon of sesame oil over medium-high heat until shimmering but not smoking.

        Cook the Shrimp: Carefully add the marinated shrimp to the hot skillet in a single layer. Cook for approximately 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Once cooked, transfer the shrimp to a plate and set aside.

          Sauté the Veggies: In the same skillet, add the minced garlic, grated ginger, sliced bell pepper, and snap peas. Stir-fry for about 3-4 minutes, keeping the vegetables vibrant and crisp, yet tender.

            Combine Everything: Return the cooked shrimp to the skillet with the sautéed vegetables. Gently add the veggie noodles and toss everything together. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, ensuring all ingredients are well combined and heated through.

              Serve: Remove from heat and transfer the mixture to a serving dish. Garnish with sliced green onions and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy your vibrant and delicious shrimp stir-fry hot!
