Instructions
- Prepare zucchini pasta according to package instructions by either microwaving, boiling, or steaming. When finished cooking, drain well and set aside.

- Add minced ginger and garlic and cook until fragrant (about 30 seconds).
- In a small bowl, whisk together ingredients for sauce (chicken broth, soy sauce, brown sugar, corn starch, Sriracha, and sesame oil) and set aside.
- Return cooked shrimp and zucchini noodles to the pan and pour prepared stir fry sauce evenly over all ingredients.
- Stir well and increase heat to high. Cook until sauce is thickened.

Notes

- If zucchini spirals aren't available in the frozen food section, you can make your own with this easy zoodles recipe.
