These noodle bowls are loaded with vermicelli noodles, lettuce, carrots,  cucumbers, bean sprouts, and gets topped with a simple salad dressing and some shrimp.  I don’t get to travel often especially lately, so it’s fun to try different dishes from around the World. I’ve never been to Vietnam before and these noodle bowls were like experiencing the cuisine from that country from your very own home!  All the ingredients can be prepped ahead of time so that you can quickly throw everything together in a dish for lunch or for supper.  Usually for lunch salads are one of my go-tos and I just love those meal kits that you get at the stores. This is a great salad option if you want to get away from the typical daily salads that you eat every day. What Ingredients do I need?  In this section, you can find substitutes or suggestions for certain ingredients.

How to make Vietnamese Shrimp Noodle Bowls 

You can print off the full recipe below.  Combine the Garlic Shrimp ingredients in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes. Combine the Dressing ingredients in a small jar, give it a shake then set aside for 10 minutes. Heat a skillet / fry pan over high heat. Add the shrimp, scraping in the olive oil and garlic from the sides of the bowl. Cook for 2 minutes, or until browned and the shrimp is just cooked through. (Note 2) Remove the prawns from the skillet onto a plate. Prepare the vermicelli noodles according to the packet directions. I like to just soak them in hot tap water for a few minutes, this ensures they don’t overcook. Then drain the noodles. Arrange the noodles and remaining Salad ingredients on a large plate (like the photo) or toss together in a bowl. Top with prawns (warm or at room temperature). Drizzle over the Dressing (or toss through), or you can serve the Dressing on the side. Serve immediately.
