Instructions
Prepare the Maifun rice noodles according to the package and set it aside.
Prepare the shrimp:
Make sure the shrimp are thawed, peeled and deveined.
Pat the shrimp dry using a paper towel. Season with a pinch of salt.
Grab a medium-sized sauté pan and place it over medium heat.
Add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add minced garlic.
When the garlic is fragrant, add the shrimp. They will need to cook for about 2-3 minutes per side.
Once cooked through, remove the shrimp from the heat and set them aside.
Prepare the rice chips:
In a clean skillet, add avocado oil and place it over medium-high heat.
Break the rice paper into large pieces using your hands.
Once the oil is hot, add one piece of rice paper at a time to the hot oil.
It should immediately puff up. If it doesn’t immediately puff up, then the oil isn’t hot enough.
Repeat until all rice chips are fried. Place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.
Prep and cut all the vegetables and herbs:
Julienne cucumbers, julienne carrots, julienne red cabbage, chop the green onions, slice the avocado, remove stems from the fresh herbs. Cut lime into wedges.
Prepare peanut sauce:
In a small mixing bowl, combine peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, sriracha, honey, and warm water. For a thinner sauce add more warm water. Set it aside.
Assemble the bowl:
Add the prepared Maifun noodles to the base of the bowl.
Next, add the carrots, cucumbers, red cabbage, avocado, mint, cilantro, and fresh basil.
Spoon on some of the garlicky shrimp. Top with chopped green onion.
Drizzle everything with peanut sauce. Add a wedge of lime.
