Chicken & Shrimp Pad Thai with Zoodles + A Winner

I don't know about you, but I love Thai food.

I really love Pad Thai.

This summer I have gotten a ton of zucchini from our garden & I got THIS to make zoodles with, so I have been experimenting with different recipes. I decided to make a pad thai & it turned out amazing!

Here is what you need:

 1 tablespoon soy sauce

1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
1 teaspoon Asian chili paste

1 teaspoon Crushed red pepper (more or less depending on taste)
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic

1 teaspoon of ginger
1/2 cup julienned mixed vegetables (carrots, yellow squash, zucchini)
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast or thigh, sliced into strips

30 medium to large shrimp
1 tablespoon packed light brown sugar

3 green onions, diced
1 tablespoon rice vinegar

1 or 2 zucchini's for zoodles (or you can use rice noodles)
Chopped peanuts, for garnish

Directions:

in a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, peanut butter, red pepper and chili paste until smooth.

So much flavor in one bowl!

Heat a large wok (or pan) over medium heat, and add the veggie oil, ginger & garlic:

When the oil is hot, add the garlic and let cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken & cook for 5 minutes:

  Add the carrots, chicken, and shrimp & green onions and cook for 1 minutes

Wtir-fry until chicken and shrimp are browned and cooked through, about 2 minutes. 

Add peanut/spice paste, brown sugar and cider vinegar and toss to distribute. Cook until heated through, about 2 minutes.

 While your sacue is simmering it's time to make the zoodles!

Last month I got THIS zoodle maker:

 I love this thing!

 It's so easy to use!

 Put your zoodles in a bowl:

 Pour your sauce over the zoodles:

 Stir together:

 When you serve it, I add some chopped up peanuts as a garnish!

This meal tasted like we ordered it at a restaurant!

 So full of flavor & it has a kick to it, so if you don't like spicy, don't add the crushed red pepper.

If you don't like shrimp, you can leave it out & double the chicken.

If you don't like zoodles, put it over rice noodles!

Kevin and I licked our plates clean after this meal! SO good!

Enjoy!
