Thai Peanut Zoodles, all the flavor of pad thai without all the carbs!

This past weekend my mom and I wanted Thai food so badly, but trying to get anywhere on Cape Cod during Labor Day weekend is impossible!  Instead, we went to our local veggie stand in town and created a much healthier version of pad thai!

Noah loved making the zoodles while I whisked together the sauce.  The cooking time was minimal and before you know it we had a delicious meal in front of us! My mom added shrimp to hers and Noah had plain zoodles mixed with whole wheat pasta, avocado and sea salt.  We were all pleased 🙂
