    Zucchini Noodle Stir Fry with Shrimp

    This Zucchini Noodle Stir Fry with Shrimp is a great low carb dinner that is packed with flavor.  I used peanut butter powder in the sauce to lower the fat and zucchini noodles to lower the carbs.  {gluten free, low carb}

    Have you been trying to lower your carbs in 2018?  It's much easier now that the world has discovered veggie noodles.

    Who do you think discovered these?  Who was just sitting around in their kitchen and all of a sudden said, I wonder what would happen if I cut zucchini into noodle-like strips?

    Brilliant!

    Whoever it was - thank you!

    Spiralized zucchini noodles work best when they are covered in a sauce like in this Zucchini Noodle Stir Fry with Shrimp.  This Asian peanut sauce is made with tamari (or soy sauce), lime juice and... wait for it... peanut butter powder!

    I'm in love with this peanut butter powder because it allows me to eat peanut butter basically non stop without all the fat.  I would say the flavor of this sauce is a bit lighter than it would be if you used regular peanut butter but it's totally doable. If you are allergic to peanut butter, almond butter works great in this sauce.

    I've used peanut butter powder to cut the fat in my Skinny Thai Chicken Salad and I'm working on using it for a freezer fudge.  The possibilities are endless.  Try some of these...

    • Healthy and Quick PB2 Greek Yogurt
    • PB2 Banana Bread
    • Peanut Butter Banana Cookies

      I love zucchini noodles. When I eat them I don't feel like I'm missing anything. They're delicious. I love your idea of peanut butter powder and shrimp. Sounds super delicious.
