I made this last night and it was pretty darn good. All those colorful, healthful veggies made it both beautiful and tasty! I served it with rice for my skinny husband.
A couple notes: I didn't have a mandoline or spiralizer so I just cut the zucchini into matchsticks. I cooked the shrimp first over high heat, removed it and reduced the heat to medium. I then sauteed the garlic and ginger for 1 minute before adding the rest of the veggies, sauce, etc as described in the recipe. Some red pepper flakes would have been a nice addition.

Return the shrimp to the pan, stirring to combine, then add the zucchini noodles and cook, tossing to coat, for 1 minute.
Transfer the stir-fry to serving plates, garnish with toasted sesame seeds and serve immediately.
Kelly’s Note:
You can make zucchini noodles using a variety of gadgets, including a mandoline (pictured in recipe), a spiralizer or a vegetable peeler.
