Step 1
Cook vermicelli in boiling salted water until tender, about 4 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Step 2
Whisk fish sauce, lime juice, minced garlic, and 2 tbsp water in a small bowl until combined. Taste and adjust to your preference.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Add shrimp in a single layer and sear without stirring for 90 seconds until the bottoms turn pink.
Step 5
Flip and cook the other side for 60 seconds until shrimp is opaque throughout. Transfer to a plate.
Step 6
Divide vermicelli between two bowls. Top each with cucumber slices, fresh herbs, and seared shrimp.
Step 7
Drizzle the dressing evenly over each bowl and serve immediately.
