Scorching Garlic Chili Sesame Shrimp and Zoodles

Just know I am telling the truth when I say scorching!  This dish was delicious if you like it hot and spicy, which we do.  I use Trader Joe’s Wild Caught Argentinian Shrimp from the freezer section because they are already deveined, tails are off so all I do is thaw.  I like it easy and this recipe is that with only 6 ingredients and a few simple steps.  Start to finish was less than 20 minutes, including making the zoodles.

Ingredients:

• 8 ounces Shrimp
• 2 Medium Zucchini (I Like Golden Zucchini- It’s Sweeter Than Green) Spiralized Into Zoodles (14 oz of Zoodles is What I Used)
• 1/4 cup Soy Sauce
• 1/4 cup Garlic Chili Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Hoisin Sauce
• 1 1/2 teaspoons Sesame Oil

Directions:

1. In a large bowl whisk together the garlic chili sauce, hoisin, soy sauce and sesame oil
2. Reserve half the sauce in a small bowl or measuring cup
3. Add the shrimp to the bowl and toss to coat with the sauce
4. Heat a large skillet that has been sprayed with non-stick spray to medium high and add the shrimp.  Sauté for 2 minutes and then turn over.  Spoon a bit of the reserved sauce on to the cooked side of the shrimp.  Continue cooking for another minute or so, until done
5. Remove the shrimp to a plate and add the zoodles.  Sauté for 1 minutes and then add remaining sauce that had been set aside.  Continue with the sauté of the zoodles, mixing in the sauce for 1-3 minutes, until just tender (al dente)
6. Add the shrimp back in to warm through and then serve in bowls
