Preparation
- Use towels to press tofu and remove/absorb water. Repeat as needed with new towels.
- Preheat the oven to 400 F. Cube tofu into 1-inch sections. In a medium bowl and toss tofu with oil 1 tablespoon coconut aminos, and corn starch. Bake on baking sheet for 20-25 minutes or until edges are golden brown.
- Meanwhile, use a spiral tool or hand spiralizer to make the zucchini noodles. You may also cut into thin strips with a vegetable peeler or cube if desired.
- In a medium pot mix red curry, coconut cream, peanut butter, remaining coconut aminos, brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water. Simmer on low for about 10 minutes while stirring occasionally.
- Peel and devein shrimp, add juice from the half lime and pepper. In a medium non-stick pan sauté shrimp with remaining olive oil for 2-3 minutes per side until shrimp is bright pink. Set aside.
- Mince garlic and slice bell pepper into strips. Place back in the pan on medium-high heat along with zucchini and cook for 3-4 minutes. Don’t over cook or zoodles will become watery.

Helpful hints
- Look for the lowest sodium variety of coconut aminos. Some can be as high as regular soy sauce.
- Soba noodles can be substitute for the zucchini noodles. It will add about 6 grams of carbohydrate, 15 mg more sodium, and 70mg less potassium.
- This dish provides a complete meal. With new research we have learned not all of the potassium and phosphorus are absorbed from whole foods sources such as tofu, peanut butter and vegetables.
