Do you have a favorite meal?  I often say that eggs are my favorite-thing-ever, (and I do love all things eggs!), but if I see salad rolls on any type of menu, I am getting them!

Not sure what salad rolls are?  They’re typically found at Thai or Vietnamese restaurants and are fresh vegetables, rice noodles, fresh herbs, meat, shrimp or tofu all wrapped in a rice paper wrapper served with peanut sauce.

PEANUT SAUCE IS LIFE

Maybe I’m just obsessed with peanut sauce?  Okay, yes I am.  For this bowl I thinned out the traditional peanut sauce and made it into a delicious peanut dressing!

I’ve made tons of homemade salad rolls in my life and still do.  I just loved the flavors so much. However, wrapping the salad rolls can take a little practice, and admittedly, I do find my kids have a harder time eating them.  The filling easily falls out with their little hands and then they just end up eating it with a fork their hands (let’s be real).

One day (when the hubby was out of town #notashrimpfan) I turned the table and made my favorite flavors of salad rolls but deconstructed them into salad roll shrimp bowls!  I have a thing for coconut rice too and it was just the perfect sweeter base to start with.

In the bowl you get the fresh crunchy veggies, fresh herbs, yummy protein packed shrimp, comforting coconut rice and peanut dressing (peanut sauce is LIFE!).  You guys, this was one of my best decisions yet. My salad rolls dreams have been simplified, and, as a nice mom, I made it easier for my kids to eat too!

Pro tip: kids love the mini shrimps to eat!
