Spicy shrimp with zucchini noodles and peanuts all done in one pan in under 10 minutes! Just 200 calories per serving and 21 grams of carbs makes this the perfect low-carb dish!
Another bowl of delicious zucchini noodles is happening today! what’s not to love when Thai flavors are combined with shrimp and my favorite low-carb zucchini noodles.
The healthy, affordable, and simple veggie known as zucchini (AKA zucchini noodles, ZOODLES) makes it possible to transform pasta and noodles into healthy fat burning dishes in not time at all.
This easy zoodle shrimp pad thai is extremely easy to make and is ready in under 10 minutes! That’s right, imagine in just 10 minutes this healthy, flavorful dinner can be on you table.
It all starts with the spiralized zucchini of course, and because the spiralized zucchini cooks in minutes, it’s the last ingredient added to the dish. So let’s begin by spiralizing the zucchini noodles and in this case, we’re going to sprilaized some carrots as well!
Next the shrimp is cooked with the garlic for just a few minutes or until it begins to turn pink. The thai sauce is then added along with the spiralized noodles and carrots. Mixed for a minute just until it begins to boil and that’s it. You’re pretty much done with the cooking and all that’s needed now is some crushed peanuts to go on top!

So excited to try this dish! Would it be possible to use already spiraled zoodles instead of doing it myself? Thanks!!!
Yes, that works perfectly!
1/2 lamb shrimp ?
kind of a fun typo. I googled it and got lots of recipes with lamb and shrimp but no “lamb shrimp” per se.
is it enough to use just one zucchini?
Taste is great but this too way longer to prep than 5 minutes. That is a bunch of crap.

Cooked this recipe last night and both myself and my husband loved it!!!
Wonder if you can use a sugar substitute to make it keto
I used coconut sugar. It worked just fine.
I would use use Splenda brown sugar
