This Fresh Vietnamese Vermicelli Shrimp Bowl is delicious. I will be making more Vietnamese foods because the fresh flavors are so good.
Cilantro and lime are one of my favorite combinations and when pair with this amazing sauce this dish comes to life.
I really enjoy the textures in this dish from crunchy cucumber to the mild fresh snap of the vermicelli noodles this is a great dish. And let’s not forget the peanuts. There are so many flavors and textures here, its hard not to love it.

Most of the work in this dish is prep work. Cut up all of the vegetables.
make the sauce by adding sugar, vinegar, fish sauce, lime juice, pepper, and garlic. I use an immersion blender to make sure the sauce is smooth.
To build a bowl start by putting vermicelli noodle in a bowl, top with all toppings then pour the sauce over top. toss a little to coat everything evenly. Enjoy
