Ingredients for Ginger-Soy Zucchini Noodles with Shrimp

3 medium zucchinis, spiralized (about 6 cups)
2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, grated
3 cloves garlic, minced

How to Make Ginger-Soy Zucchini Noodles with Shrimp

Step 1: Prepare the Ginger-Soy Sauce

In a small bowl, whisk together soy sauce, grated ginger, minced garlic, honey, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes. Set aside.

Step 2: Cook the Shrimp

Heat 1 tablespoon sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the shrimp, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and pepper, and sauté for 2-3 minutes per side, until they turn pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp to a plate and set aside.

Step 3: Sauté the Zucchini Noodles

Add the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil to the same skillet. Toss in the spiralized zucchini noodles and cook, stirring frequently, for 2-3 minutes until just tender but still crisp.

Step 4: Combine and Serve

Return the shrimp to the skillet. Pour in the ginger-soy sauce and toss everything together over medium heat for 1-2 minutes until well coated and heated through. Remove from heat, sprinkle with green onions and sesame seeds, and serve immediately.

Use fresh or frozen shrimp—just thaw and pat dry before cooking.
