Prepare the shirataki noodles according to the package instructions, usually involving draining and rinsing well under cold water to remove any odor. Set aside to drain thoroughly.
In a small bowl, mix together fish sauce, soy sauce, erythritol sweetener, Sriracha sauce, and rice vinegar. Set this sauce aside.
Heat 1 tablespoon of coconut oil in a large non-stick frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the sliced chicken breast and cook until browned and cooked through, about 5-7 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
In the same pan, add the shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside with the chicken.
Add the remaining tablespoon of coconut oil to the same pan and sauté the minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add the sliced red bell pepper and spiralized zucchini, cooking for about 3 minutes until just tender.
Move the vegetables to one side of the pan and crack the eggs on the other side. Scramble them lightly with a spatula until just set.
Add the prepared shirataki noodles, cooked chicken, shrimp, and bean sprouts to the pan. Pour the reserved sauce over the mixture and toss everything together to combine well, cooking for another 2-3 minutes.
Transfer the Pad Thai to serving plates and sprinkle with chopped green onions, roasted peanuts, and fresh cilantro. Serve with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top just before eating.
