Instructions
Step 1
1. Use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create zucchini and carrot noodles. Set aside. 2. In a large skillet or wok, heat the coconut oil over medium-high heat. 3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. 4. If using shrimp or chicken, add it to the pan and cook until cooked through. Remove from the pan and set aside. 5. Push the cooked shrimp or chicken to one side of the pan. Add the beaten eggs to the other side and scramble until cooked. 6. Add the zucchini noodles, carrot noodles, and sliced bell pepper to the pan. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes until the noodles are slightly softened but still retain some crunch. 7. In a small bowl, whisk together the almond butter, coconut aminos, lime juice, and fish sauce (if using). Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss to coat everything evenly. 8. Add the bean sprouts and chopped green onions to the pan. Toss to combine. 9. If using cooked shrimp or chicken, return it to the pan and toss with the noodles and vegetables. 10. Cook for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is heated through. 11. Remove from heat and garnish with chopped cilantro and roasted cashews (if using). 12. Serve the paleo Pad Thai with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the dish.
