Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Marinate shrimp with lemongrass, 1 tbsp fish sauce, half the garlic, and oil for 10 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Make nuoc cham: combine remaining fish sauce, lime juice, sugar, minced garlic, and chili. Stir until sugar dissolves.

  3. Step 3

    Soak vermicelli in boiling water for 5 minutes, drain, and rinse under cold water.

  4. Step 4

    Grill or pan-fry shrimp 2 minutes per side. Assemble bowls with vermicelli, shrimp, carrot, cucumber, mint, and cilantro. Drizzle nuoc cham generously over the top.
