Shrimp Spring Roll Bowl with Peanut Lime Dressing
My new favorite easy lunch is this shrimp spring roll bowl with peanut lime dressing. You know how most peanut Thai dressings have honey or sugar in them…well, this one doesn’t so it is perfectly low carb and keto friendly. I could seriously drink this dressing. It is so good!
I’ve been eating this shrimp spring roll bowl, aka salad, all week and I seriously cannot get enough. 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.
I’ve also just mixed it altogether and it was still great because the chopped Napa cabbage holds up to the sauce and doesn’t get too wilted.

This has become one of my favorite recipes! Each time I make it everyone wants the recipe! Thanks for sharing your luscious keto recipes!!
OMG! It was all I could do to stay out of the left overs! I made the whole recipe as part of meal prep. The dressing is amazing!!
What peanut butter do you use? So many I find have sugar in them! Thanks!
Just starting on Keto, but have followed you on Facebook for awhile. I so appreciate your recipes and am looking forward to trying many of them!
Use a natural type peanut butter. I buy mine at Trader Joe’s but even the regular supermarkets carry them. The one I buy has nothing but peanuts and salt and you can find it unsalted if you prefer that.
Made this dish last night for hubby and me. It is soooo delicious !! The dressing really is amazing and the napa cabbage is so sweet and tender. One of those dishes where you enjoy every dang bite. Thanks Jennifer for another outstanding and simple recipe <3
This was delicious!
So easy to make and such a filling meal (although I did it half it to myself).
Thanks for the great recipe, definitely on rotation at my house
