Instructions

Pat shrimp dry and toss with half the lime juice and a pinch of chili flakes. Set aside.
Heat a large nonstick skillet or wok over high heat. Add oil. When hot, add shrimp and cook until just opaque, 1-2 minutes per side. Remove shrimp and set aside.
Add garlic and carrots to the same pan; stir-fry 1 minute. Push veggies to the side, crack eggs into pan, scramble until just set.
Add rinsed shirataki noodles to pan. Pour in fish sauce and sweetener. Stir well and cook for 2-3 minutes to heat through and meld flavors.
Return shrimp to pan. Add bean sprouts and most of the green onions. Toss everything together for 1 minute. Taste and adjust seasoning with extra lime juice or chili flakes.
Divide between plates. Top with peanuts, remaining green onions, fresh cilantro, and lime wedges. Serve immediately.
