Place the rice noodles in a bowl. Add enough hot water to cover them and let stand for 12 minutes or until tender. Drain.
Combine the chili-garlic sauce, sugar and fish sauce in a small bowl.
Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper and zucchini; sauté for 4 minutes or until the vegetables are crisp-tender. Add the shrimp and sauté an additional 2 minutes. Remove the shrimp and vegetables from the pan and keep warm.
