Instructions
Using a spiralizer, spiralize the cucumber.
Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add garlic for noodles and saute 2 minutes until browned.
Add rice vinegar, cucumber noodles and salt for noodles. Toss to combine and cook until the noodles are heated through. Set aside and keep warm.
In a separate medium skillet, add stevia, erythritol and 1 ½ tbsp water for shrimp. Cook until caramelized and dark brown.
Carefully add remaining water and heat until caramel dissolves.
Remove from heat and keep warm.
In a separate small skillet, add garlic and ginger for shrimp to pan over medium heat. Saute for 3 to 5 minutes.
Add shrimp, caramel sauce, and salt for shrimp. Cook until the shrimp are pink all over, approximately 2 to 3 minutes.
Top noodles with shrimp and toss to combine. Garnish with cilantro, sliced green onion and sesame seeds.
Recipe Notes
You can easily double this recipe and meal prep your lunches for the entire week! *This is based on the Trim Healthy Mama stevia brand that I personally use and linked to in the recipe which is quite concentrated. Stevia potency really varies from brand to brand so you may need to adjust the level of stevia to more or less depending on which one you use.

KellyWhat kind of caramel sauce? the instructions mention it – but it is not listed under ingredients. Thanks 🙂

Hey Kelly- the “caramel” is actually made from reducing the water and erythritol combination into a little syrup thing- hope that makes sense!

Oh good Kelly! I’m so glad to know that I’ve helped some of you on your weight loss journey. It’s so good to hear from you ladies like this- I kid you not, everytime I thought about the start of each of these big projects- P3tolife, the P2 recipes, even the hCG interviews which I started a LOOOONG time ago now, I always had voices in my head saying it would be a disaster and awful and everyone might hate it. I’m so glad I ignored those voices – I’ve had the great privilege of connecting with so many amazing women like yourself through this process.

I LOVE this! Just made it the other night. A couple of yummy modifications I made as an FYI.
To the shrimp add a dash of 5 spice powder and red pepper flakes.
Gives it some spicy with the sweet!Thanks so much for these recipes. It makes my HCG-ing a bit easier. 🙂
