Shrimp and rice noodles is an easy dinner that’s loaded with fresh veggies, vibrant herbs, and a sweet, tangy dressing inspired by Vietnamese nuoc cham. This flavor packed noodle salad is perfect for summer.
0 Make the dressing by whisking together the sweet chili sauce, water, lime juice, and fish sauce. Taste and adjust if you'd like. (Add lime juice for more tartness, fish sauce for more salt, or a pinch of sugar if you want it more sweet.)
1 Prepare the rice noodles according to package directions. Drain well.
2 Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the shrimp to boiling water and boil until cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Drain well.
4 In a large mixing bowl, combine the noodles, shrimp, shredded carrot, cucumbers, cilantro, mint, and peanuts. Add the dressing and stir everything together until well combined.
5 Spread the lettuce leaves out on a serving platter. Top with the noodle salad and serve with lime wedges for squeezing over top.
