This Shrimp Zoodles recipe in a simple Thai Coconut Sauce is a deliciously creamy meal bursting with fresh flavors that is ready in less than 30 minutes.
After the making super simple Cod with Tomato Basil Sauce earlier this week, my mind has been focused on bringing more easy seafood dishes into our lives. I have said it many times before, it’s all about the sauce. You can prepare the same basic foods and just change the flavors for so many new meal ideas.
With my main protein sources being chicken, turkey and seafood, I have to get creative to keep things interesting. For some reason when I think shrimp, I think Thai food and the amazing sauces.
This Shrimp Zoodles In Thai Coconut Sauce was a great dish to prepare using my Ninja® Intelli-Sense™ Kitchen System with Auto-Spiralizer™ I
I used the Auto-Sprializer for the zoodles and the Single-Serve Cup to mix up the Thai Coconut Sauce. I have big plans to make so many of my dips and sauces with the food processor attachment as well!!
Ingredients for this Shrimp and Zucchini Noodles Recipe
1 pound jumbo shrimp, shelled and de-veined
2 -3 zucchini, spiralized
3 tablespoons coconut oil, divided
3 gloves garlic, minced or pressed
1/4 teaspoon red chili flakes
1/2 onion, peeled and sliced
1 red bell pepper, seeded and sliced (you can also do a medley of orange, yellow and red)
1 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons peanut butter
2 tablespoons lime juice
1 tablespoon coconut sugar or brown sugar

How to Make Zucchini Noodles with Shrimp
Heat a 12-inch skillet over medium high heat 1 tablespoon of oil
Add the onion, garlic, peppers and cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Transfer the peppers and onion to a bowl.
Add 1 tablespoon of oil and cook the shrimp for 2 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2 minutes or until opaque.
In another food processor (like the Ninja) add the coconut milk, peanut butter, lime juice, brown sugar and ground ginger and pulse until blended thoroughly.
Transfer the cooked onion and peppers to the skillet and pour the coconut milk mixture of the peppers.
Bring to a boil then reduce to simmer and cook until reduced by half, about 5 minutes.
In a separate pan, sauté your spiralized zucchini for about 3-5 minutes (to desired tenderness)
Add the shrimp to the sauce in the skillet and add the basil and cilantro and toss to coat.
Serve over cooked zoodles.
