In a medium bowl, whisk together the coconut aminos, garlic, stevia, chili paste, fish sauce, ginger, and sesame oil. Voilà! You’ve just made the most flavorful sauce ever.
2. Get Spiraling
Peel your sweet potato and butternut squash, then have a blast spiralizing them into long, twirly noodles. Toss with olive oil, sprinkle on some salt and pepper, and bake at 350°F for just 5 minutes to make them tender.

Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add olive oil, 2 tablespoons of your magical coconut amino sauce, and shrimp. Cook for 3-4 minutes until they’re pink, juicy, and perfect. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
4. Veggie Party
Toss your mushrooms, bell pepper, zucchini, and carrot into the skillet. Sauté them until they’re tender and brimming with flavor—about 5-7 minutes of stirring fun.
5. Bring It All Together
Add the shrimp, noodles, and the rest of your sauce to the skillet. Stir everything together until it’s coated in that savory goodness.
