With this quick, easy recipe, you can skip takeout and enjoy a fresh, homemade noodle bowl that’s filled with healthy ingredients.

Cook the seasoned shrimp in just three to five minutes, then pile it onto rice vermicelli noodles with bean sprouts, cucumber, carrot, lettuce, cilantro, mint, and basil for a flavor explosion.

The finishing touch? A tangy broth and crushed peanuts.

Pro tip: Letting shrimp marinate with spices helps the meat absorb as much flavor as possible.

However, if you’re in a hurry, you can reduce the time or cook the shrimp immediately.

We suggest grilling or broiling the shrimp in this recipe, but you can also cook it in a pan on the stovetop over medium heat for three to five minutes, or until shrimp are opaque and firm.

This authentic Shrimp Noddle Bowl is a quick, cozy weeknight meal made with seasoned shrimp, a host of fresh veggies, rice noodles, and a tangy broth.
