Shrimp Egg Roll in a Bowl (Gluten-free, no grains, dairy, soy)

One perk of living near the Gulf of Mexico? We have no shortage of tender, fresh shrimp! One perk of using shrimp in a recipe? They cook quickly!

Shrimp Egg Roll in a Bowl is such a fun dish. It packs all of the flavor you get in traditional egg rolls without the rolling and frying. Plus, it's easy peasy and makes great leftovers (I love to eat the leftovers cold).

Saute veggies, garlic, and ginger, sauces and seasonings until softened. In the meantime, salt and cook the shrimp in a second skillet until just done. Be careful not to overcook the shrimp because they will cook a bit more when added to the warm veggies... and overcooked shrimp taste dry and chewy. no bueno.

Remove the veggies from heat. Add the shrimp and cilantro. Toss to coat everything. Transfer to a serving bowl and garnish with additional cilantro, chopped green onion tops, and sesame seeds. Enjoy!
