Shrimp Summer Roll Bowls
Matchstick veggies, creamy avocado, poached shrimp and herbaceous cilantro sit atop simple rice noodles for a meal that’s easy to toss together or customize to your liking.
Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 4 oz. {½ a box} Mai Fun rice noodles
- ½ teaspoon sesame oil or your favorite oil
- ½ pound cooked shrimp
- 1 avocado thinly sliced
- 1 large carrot peeled cut into matchsticks
- ½ English cucumber cut into matchsticks
- Handful of cilantro* finely chopped
For Spicy Coconut-Peanut Dressing
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter {or almond butter if you prefer}
- ¼ cup canned coconut milk
- ¼ cup tamari or soy sauce
- 1 teaspoon sriracha or chili paste
- ½ teaspoon fresh grated ginger
- Squeeze of fresh lime juice
Instructions
- Make noodles according to package directions. When done, drain in a strainer and rinse thoroughly with cold water. Allow to drain completely.
- Place about ½ teaspoon of oil in a large food storage container and add noodles. Toss to coat completely. Cover with SNAP lid and store in refrigerator until ready to use. {This will help the noodles not stick together when refrigerated.}
- Store shrimp and prepped veggies in separate SNAP containers and refrigerate until ready to use.
Make Dressing:
- In a small heat proof bowl, combine peanut butter and about a tablespoon or two of coconut milk. Microwave for about 20-30 seconds until the peanut butter melts a bit. Stir until smooth. {You may need to add a little more coconut milk or heat for another second or two.} Measure out coconut milk, soy sauce, sriracha, ginger and lime juice into a container like the Little Salad Shaker. Add the liquefied peanut butter mixture. Secure the top and shake vigorously to combine. Refrigerate until ready to use.
- When ready to serve, make a bed of noodles and top with shrimp and desired vegetables. Drizzle with Spicy Coconut-Peanut Dressing and sprinkle with chopped cilantro.
Notes
You can also use your OXO Spiralizer for easy veggie prep instead of cutting into matchsticks. Or just chop the veggies into desired shapes. It'll still be delicious!
*If you don't care for cilantro, mint or basil work, too!
