Servings: 2
Ingredients
- 2 medium zucchini spiralized with D blade (spaghetti noodle size)
- 2 Tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce tamari or coconut aminos
- 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon sriracha + extra for topping
- 1 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
- 1 Tablespoon avocado coconut or olive oil
- 2 cloves garlic minced
- 1/4 cup chopped yellow onion
- 15 medium to large peeled and deveined shrimp
- 1 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 medium red bell pepper sliced
- green onion chopped
Instructions
- Spiralize zucchini noodles if you haven’t already.
- Whisk together sauce ingredients (soy sauce, ginger, honey, sriracha and sesame oil) in a small bowl. Set aside.
- Add oil to a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add onion and garlic and sauté until fragrant, stirring frequently to make sure garlic doesn’t burn. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
- Add mushrooms, bell pepper, shrimp and sauce to the skillet and sauté for 5-6 minutes or until shrimp are cooked through. Turn up heat a tiny bit and allow liquid to evaporate.
- Add spiralized zucchini noodles to the skillet and toss to combine. Cook for 1-2 minutes until zucchini noodles are just heated through. Do not overcook the zucchini noodles or they will start to release water and the lo mein will become watery.
- Remove from heat and serve immediately. Serve in two plates or bowls with chopped green onion and additional sriracha.
