Directions

Dice the yellow onion, red pepper and zucchini into equal size pieces (around 1/2 inch). Put in a hot pan with 1 tbsp avocado oil and dried red chilis. Sauté for about 5 minutes or until onions are translucent.
While the veggies are cooking, combine all the Kung Pao sauce ingredients into a bowl and whisk together.
Next, add half of your minced garlic to the pan and sauté for another 2 minutes. Then add the thawed shrimp to the pan. Cook shrimp on the first side for 3 minutes.
When the shrimp are ready to flip, add your Kung Pao sauce and flip. Cook the shrimp for another 3-4 minutes.
Serve over your favorite kind of rice or cauliflower rice and enjoy!
