    Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

    Zoodles Shrimp Pad Thai Recipe is the perfect low carb meal. Zucchini noodles, that I like to call zoodles are the perfect alternative to pasta.  You get your noodle fix with non of the carbs!  Add a delicious sauce, shrimp, and peanuts for a Thai inspired dish with zero guilt.

    What is Zoodles Shrimp Pad Thai Recipe

    Zoodles is a name given to noodle made from zucchini.  We've combined these vegetable ribbons with a Thai inspired sauce, scrambled eggs, and shrimp for a takeout quality meal without the guilt.

    Spiralize!

    I created my zucchini noodles using the KitchenAid 5 Blake Spiralizer with Peel, Core and Slice attachment for my KitchenAid Artisan Tilt-Head Stand Mixer. This has been the funnest little gadget.  You can core and peel apples, create shoestring fries, shred carrots - and so much more! Pad Thai is characterized by rich, vibrant flavors, from funky to sour to sweet.

    What Do I Need To Make This Zoodles Shrimp Pad Thai Recipe

    For this recipe I used:

    • 5 zucchini
    • ½ a head of napa cabbage
    • fresh cilantro
    • green onions
    • garlic
    • lime
    • sugar
    • peanuts
    • garlic chili sauce
    • fish sauce
    • peanut butter
    • soy sauce
    • olive oil
    • eggs
    • raw deveined shelled shrimp with the tail on

    Including all of these greens really lightened up the dish and made it fresh and vibrant.

    Ingredients needed for Shrimp Pad Thai Recipe arranged on a white sheet pan. The ingredients include cilantro, garlic, peanuts, sugar, Napa cabbage, zucchini, shrimp, and spices.

    Making your Zoodles Pad Thai

    Once your ingredients are prepped this dish comes together very fast!

    1. Start by spiralizing your zucchini.  I prefer to use the KitchenAid 5 Blake Spiralizer with Peel, Core and Slice attachment, but there are many tools out there that can turn your zucchini into strings.

    2. Rough chop your Napa cabbage and cilantro, dice your green onions.

    3. Prepare the sauce by combining lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar, chili garlic sauce, and peanut butter in a medium sized bowl.  Whisk until combined.  Don't worry of the sauce isn't smooth - it will melt when we heat it.

    4. Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in a non-stick pan.

    5. Add shrimp and cool until pinked and opaque.  This will only take a few minutes. Remove shrimp from the pan and set aside.

    6. Add garlic to the pan and stir quickly until fragrant.

    7. Add in Napa cabbage and do a quick stir.

    8. Toss in your spiralized zucchini noodle.  Do another quick stir.

    9. Move ingredients to the edges of the pan and pour in 4 slightly beaten eggs.  Do a quick scramble and toss with cabbage and zucchini.

    11. Pour in prepared sauce. Toss to coat and heat thru. Turn off heat.

    12. Add peanuts.

    13. Add cilantro and green onion.  Serve immediately.

    Zoodles Shrimp Pad Thai Recipe Q&A

    How long does Zoodles Pad Thai Last?

    Pad Thai and other popular takeout noodle dishes will generally last up to three days in the refrigerator. Due to heavy sauces that can contribute to a soggy texture, these dishes can sometimes taste bad before they actually go bad.

    Try a Wonton Chicken Salad! Other great appetizers include pork egg rolls.

    Is pad thai spicy?

    It can be spicy but generally the heat will not be in your face like many other dishes. It is more like a background flavour.
