Shrimp Spring Roll Bowls
Description
This recipe combines chilled shrimp with red bell pepper, English cucumber, red cabbage, edamame, shredded carrot, green onions, and cooked thin rice noodles. The peanut dressing, made from natural peanut butter, orange juice or lime, soy sauce, maple syrup, rice vinegar, sesame oil, fresh grated ginger, and garlic, is whisked together to coat the ingredients evenly.
The bowl delivers a mix of crunchy vegetables and tender shrimp with lightly chewy noodles enhanced by the savory, citrus-infused peanut sauce. Optional toppings like chopped peanuts, fresh cilantro or mint, lime wedges, and chili sauce add layers of texture and flavor customization.
The dish can be served fresh for a bright, satisfying meal suitable for lunch or dinner. It also adapts by omitting peanut sauce in favor of sesame oil and soy sauce for a lighter cold noodle salad experience.

Instructions

- For an easy shortcut, use chilled pre-cooked shrimp. If cooking from frozen, then thaw/clean/prep shrimp and either boil or sauté until pink and opaque.
- Serve shrimp whole or, for a little seafood goodness in ever bite, chop into bite-sized pieces. <--- I like to do this before diving in!
- Next prep the veggies! Thinly slice bell pepper. Slice or spiralize cucumber. Thinly slice/shred cabbage. Thaw or steam edamame as needed. Chop green onion and any optional extras (peanuts, mint, cilantro) desired.
- Lastly, cook rice noodles via package instructions until tender and al-dente. Drain then rinse with cold water.
- Divide noodles evenly between two plates/bowls and top with veggies and shrimp. Drizzle with peantut dressign and dig in!
