I've been eating this shrimp spring roll bowl all week and I seriously cannot get enough.  I have a confession though, I hate peanut butter.  It's a crime, I know, but I have never been very fond of the stuff.  Almond butter, on the other hand...give me all of it!  Anyway, even though I hate peanut butter, I love this peanut lime dressing.  Who would have thought?

One thing about this shrimp spring roll bowl that is so amazing, is that it is perfect for meal prep!  I like to have all of my veggies in a bowl already chopped, shrimp in a separate bowl or baggie, and have the dressing in the jar ready to pour all over all of it.  If you want to meal prep for work lunch, you can have the veggies all divided out into bowls with the shrimp in a baggie, and the dressing in these cute little portable dressing containers.

To prep your veggies, you are going to want to chop the napa cabbage thin, like the picture above.  Napa cabbage has such amazing texture, yummy yummy.  So, on to the carrots.  You want to peel your carrot first, then cut it into matchsticks.  This will give your shrimp spring roll bowl more yummy crunch and texture.  The easiest part is the shrimp!  Shrimp is so flavorful, plus the dressing is so flavorful, all you need to do is boil the shrimp until they are pink and firm.  Easy peasy.

JENNIFER'S TIPS

If you want to meal prep for work lunch, you can have the veggies all divided out into bowls with the shrimp in a baggie, and the dressing in some cute little portable dressing containers. If you find your dressing thick after sitting in the fridge, run the jar under hot water for a couple of minutes to make it pourable again.
