How To Make Shrimp Spring Roll Bowls
The first steps to making these amazing bowls, are to place all of the dipping sauce ingredients in a small saucepan and simmer for about 15 minutes or until it reaches your desired consistency.
While the sauce is simmering, you can prepare the shrimp to cook. Start by patting the thawed shrimp dry with a clean paper towel, place the shrimp on skewers, brush with oil, and season with salt and pepper. Place these shrimp skewers on the hot grill grates over direct heat for 2 minutes, flip, and continue cooking for another 2 minutes.
Now it is time to prep the rest of the spring roll bowl ingredients. Simply cook the vermicelli noodles according to the package directions. And prep the rest of the fresh ingredients.
Finally, assemble that delicious bowl any way you want! All of these ingredients can also be meal prepped and stored in separate airtight containers in the fridge for making quick and easy lunches all week long!
How To Serve Shrimp Spring Roll Bowls
This simple spring roll bowls can be served or topped so many different ways. First, make sure you pour on that spring roll sauce! Then sprinkle on some crushed peanuts or sesame seeds for some added crunch. We also like to make sure we have some lime wedges to squeeze over the top for that fresh lime juice!

Instructions
Spring Roll Sauce:
- Combine Sauce Ingredients in saucepan. Bring to simmer and reduce for approx. 15 min or until you have consistency you desire.
- Remove from heat (it will continue to thicken as it cools) and set aside.
Grilled Shrimp:
- Pat shrimp dry with a clean paper towel and sprinkle with kosher salt and pepper and toss in a little oil.
- Taking a metal skewer, pierce the shrimp through the tail and then again through the thickest part and slide all the way to the bottom. Continue until all the shrimp are used.
- Place over direct heat and close lid. Let cook 2 minutes.
- Flip and close lid again. Let cook for an additional 1-2 minutes. Shrimp is done cooking when the meat is no longer translucent. Remove from grill and let rest 5 minutes.
Assemble Bowls:
- Divide rice noodles, shrimp, avocado, cucumber, lettuce, mint leaves, cilantro and carrots between 4 bowls (add bean sprouts, purple cabbage and bell pepper slices too, if you want).
- Top with some crushed peanuts and sesame seeds.
- Serve with Spring Roll Sauce and use as much or a little as you want. Enjoy!
Notes
- *Granulated Sugar: feel free to use a coconut sugar or organic cane sugar here.
- Shrimp: you can pan-fry the shrimp instead of grilling OR make smoked shrimp (we also have an awesome shrimp marinade, if you are interested)!
- Leaving tails on: it is totally up to you if you want to leave the tail ends on or not – the recipe will work the same either way.
- Skewers: you can use metal or wooden skewers, but if you are using wooden skewers be sure to soak them for 30 minutes before using to reduce charring.
- Fresh or Frozen Shrimp: flavor will be best when you can buy fresh shrimp the day you plan on cooking them, but frozen will definitely work just fine!
