Top each bowl with a portion of cooked shrimp, along with a cup of fresh lettuce, a quarter cup of shredded carrots, a quarter cup of sliced cucumber, and a quarter of an avocado.
In a small bowl, combine rice vinegar, fish sauce, lime juice, grated ginger, and chopped birds eye chile for a zesty dressing.
In another bowl, mix peanut butter, coconut milk, hoisin sauce, more lime juice, crushed peanuts, and sambal oelek until smooth and creamy.
Finish by garnishing each bowl with sliced green onions, fresh mint, and extra crushed peanuts. Serve with the peanut sauce and/or Nam Chom on the side.
