Zucchini Noodle Pad Thai with Shrimp: A Healthy Twist on a Classic Dish
Zucchini Noodle Pad Thai with Shrimp is a variation of the traditional Pad Thai, which is a beloved street food in Thailand. Instead of using rice noodles, this version uses spiralized zucchini to create "zoodles," which are a lighter, healthier alternative. The dish is stir-fried with shrimp, eggs, garlic, carrots, and bean sprouts, and tossed in a tangy, savory sauce made from soy sauce, fish sauce, lime juice, and brown sugar or honey. Topped with fresh cilantro, lime wedges, and roasted peanuts, this dish has a wonderful balance of sweet, salty, and savory flavors.
