Spiralize the zucchini into noodles and set aside.

Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.

Add shrimp and cook until pink and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes.

Add minced garlic and sliced red bell pepper, sautéing until fragrant and tender, about 2-3 minutes.

Add the zucchini noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes until slightly softened.

In a bowl, mix rice vinegar, fish sauce, ketchup, brown sugar, cayenne pepper, and chili garlic sauce until smooth.

Push the vegetables to one side of the skillet and pour the egg into the other side, scrambling until cooked.

Combine the scrambled egg with the vegetables and add the sauce, stirring to coat everything evenly.

Add bean sprouts and half of the green onions, tossing to combine.

Serve hot, garnished with roasted peanuts, chopped cilantro, and remaining green onions.
