COCO-LEMONGRASS VERMICELLI SHRIMP BOWL

Coco-Lemongrass Vermicelli Shrimp Bowl is a light and easy dish for the summertime, filled with a rainbow of crunchy veggies and coco-lemongrass shrimp on a small bed of vermicelli rice noodles. Summertime is sometimes painful… especially when you don’t have AC and live in Spain… It’s too hot for any long cooking sessions… Solution: the Wok!

You can simply make a bunch of those under 15 minutes, no need to marinate, on the BBQ or the oven, so simple to make. The solely added ingredients, other than the obvious ones, are a spicy paprika or any hot pepper powder you prefer and coconut shreds. If you don’t want to let go of summer, this is the way, it will warm you right up.

You also could make smaller version of skewers for a hors d’oeuvre style dinner or tapas night. I’ve added…
