Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 1 pound (454 grams) shrimp, peeled and deveined
Vegetables:
- 4 cups coleslaw mix (shredded cabbage and carrots)
- 1 red bell pepper, diced
- 1/2 cup green onion, chopped (divided into whites and greens)
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 inch ginger, minced
Seasonings and Extras:
- 3 tablespoons soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 1 cup egg roll wrappers, cut into small strips (optional for crunch)
- 1 tablespoon cooking oil (for sautéing)
- Sriracha or a spicy mayo (for drizzling, optional)
Instructions
- Prepare a large skillet or wok and heat it over medium-high temperature for optimal cooking conditions.
- Pour cooking oil into the heated skillet, allowing it to warm for 30 seconds before adding minced garlic and ginger, releasing their aromatic essence.
- Introduce diced red bell pepper and white portions of green onions, stir-frying for approximately 2 minutes until vegetables soften and develop a slight caramelization.
- Incorporate peeled shrimp into the skillet, cooking for 3-4 minutes until they transform into a vibrant pink color and become completely opaque.
- Fold in coleslaw mix and soy sauce, continuing to cook for an additional 3-4 minutes while maintaining a gentle stirring motion to prevent sticking.
- Drizzle sesame oil and rice vinegar over the mixture, sprinkling crushed red pepper flakes for optional heat, thoroughly blending all ingredients.
- For extra texture, carefully add crispy egg roll wrapper strips and toast for 2 minutes until they reach a golden, crunchy consistency.
- Remove skillet from heat and garnish with green onion tops for a fresh, bright finish.
- Transfer the shrimp egg roll bowl to serving dishes, optionally adding a drizzle of Sriracha or spicy mayo for additional flavor complexity.
Notes
- Swap shrimp with tofu or chicken for dietary flexibility, ensuring protein-rich alternatives that maintain the dish’s delicious profile.
- Toast egg roll wrapper strips separately for extra crispiness, preventing sogginess and adding delightful textural contrast to the bowl.
- Reduce sodium by using low-sodium soy sauce and controlling added salt, making the recipe heart-friendly without compromising flavor intensity.
- Prep ingredients beforehand to streamline cooking process, allowing quick assembly and minimizing kitchen stress during meal preparation.
