Step 1
Boil vermicelli in salted water until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium-high. Brown ground pork, breaking it up with a spoon, until no pink remains, 4–5 minutes.
Step 3
Push pork to the side. Add shrimp to the hot spot, sear 90 seconds per side without stirring. Toss everything together.
Step 4
Add cooked noodles to the skillet. Drizzle with fish sauce and lime juice, toss until everything glistens, about 1 minute.
Step 5
Divide between bowls. Top with fried shallots, herbs, and a dollop of sriracha on the side. Serve hot.
