Cheers to the freakin’ weekend! Keep your diet on point with this low-carb, gluten-free stir fry made with spiralized zucchini and shrimp, teriyaki sauce and toasted sesame seeds.

TERIYAKI SHRIMP WITH  ZUCCHINI NOODLES 

INGREDIENTS:

• 1 pound (450g) medium shrimp, peeled and deveined (remove tail if desired)

• 1 pound (3 medium-sized) zucchini, julienned or spiralized

• 1 medium onion, minced

• 3 cloves garlic, minced

• 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce (no-soy alternative)

• 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds

• 2 tablespoons low sodium teriyaki sauce

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

• Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, combine garlic, soy sauce, sesame seeds, teriyaki sauce and oil. Marinate shrimp in this mixture for 10 minutes. This gives you enough time to prepare the other ingredients.

2. Heat the oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Drain the shrimp from the marinade and cook for 2 minutes in the skillet, flip, and cook for 1 more minute before putting aside in a plate.

3. In the same skillet. Add minced onion and zucchini noodles and cook until just cooked but still crunchy, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and add the remaining marinade. Cook for one minute more then add shrimp back to the skillet. Toss everything to combine and remove from  heat. Serve the shrimp and zucchini noodles immediately, sprinkled with additional sesame seeds.
