Shrimp Spring Roll Bowls
Shrimp Spring Roll Bowls assemble fresh pre-cooked shrimp with crisp, thinly sliced vegetables and softened rice noodles, all dressed in a creamy peanut sauce. This dish offers a refreshing texture contrast and a balance of savory, tangy, and slightly sweet flavors from the peanut dressing. It's a modern take on deconstructed spring rolls served in a bowl.
Ingredients
- 9-10 oz Shrimp any size, pre-cooked, chilled
- ½ red bell pepper
- ¼ English cucumber
- ½ cup red cabbage thinly sliced
- ½ cup edamame shelled
- 1/4-1/3 cup carrot shredded
- 2-3 TBSP green onion chopped
- 4 oz thin rice noodles
PEANUT DRESSING
- 2 TBSP peanut butter natural creamy

Instructions
- To make the peanut dressing, add peanut butter, soy sauce, orange juice, syrup/honey, rice vinegar, sesame oil, ginger, garlic, and water to to a small bowl and whisk well. Set aside.
- 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!
Notes
- This dish can also be dressed just with a drizzle of sesame oil and low sodium soy sauce for variation.
- Add lime wedges and chili garlic sauce or sriracha on the side to adjust the flavor with extra acidity or heat.
