Ingredients

Scale
  • 12 oz cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (wild-caught recommended)
  • 3 oz rice vermicelli noodles, cooked and chilled
  • 1 large ripe avocado, diced (or 2 small)
  • 1 medium cucumber, julienned or thinly sliced
  • 1 medium carrot, shredded or julienned
  • 1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • A handful fresh mint leaves, torn
  • A handful fresh cilantro leaves, roughly chopped
  • 2 stalks green onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tbsp chopped roasted peanuts or cashews (optional)
  • 3 tbsp fresh lime juice
  • 2 tbsp fish sauce (substitute tamari or soy sauce for vegetarian)
  • 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tsp grated fresh ginger (optional)
  • Red chili flakes or fresh chili to taste
  • 1 tsp sesame oil

Instructions

  1. Cook the vermicelli noodles: Bring a pot of water to boil, add rice vermicelli, cook 3-4 minutes until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside in a large bowl.
  2. Prepare the shrimp: If pre-cooked, thaw and pat dry. If raw, boil in salted water 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Drain and chill for about 10 minutes. Cut larger shrimp in half if desired.
  3. Chop vegetables and herbs: Dice avocado, julienne cucumber and carrots, slice bell pepper thinly, chop green onions, tear mint and cilantro leaves. Prep just before assembly.
  4. Make the dressing: Whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, honey or maple syrup, minced garlic, grated ginger, chili flakes, and sesame oil in a small bowl or jar. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  5. Assemble the bowls: Divide chilled noodles into serving bowls. Arrange shrimp, avocado, cucumber, carrots, and bell pepper on top. Sprinkle with green onions, mint, cilantro, and nuts if using.
  6. Drizzle the dressing over each bowl just before serving. Toss gently if desired or leave arranged for presentation.
  7. Add extra lime wedge or chili flakes for more heat if preferred. Serve immediately.

Notes

Keep shrimp chilled until serving for best freshness. Toss diced avocado with lime juice to prevent browning. Prepare dressing in advance but add to bowl just before eating to avoid soggy noodles. Adjust chili flakes to taste. Use wild-caught shrimp for best flavor. Substitute tofu or chicken for shrimp if desired.
