Quick and easy paleo shrimp egg roll in a bowl with a spicy aioli that’s paleo, Whole30 compliant and keto friendly! Great for easy weeknight dinners and the leftovers reheat perfectly for lunch the next day.
After experimenting with the “egg roll in a bowl” trend and making this crazy delicious breakfast version, the egg roll in a bowl was quickly thrown into my easy-meal rotation because.
If you’re new to the egg roll in a bowl concept, get excited – it’s super simple and so, so tasty!
Essentially, you’re stir frying up a bunch of yummy ingredients and the finished product tastes like the inside of an egg roll. Genius, seriously – whoever came up with this concept!
For this new version, I wanted to go all out. I’d just been over a friends house where she served spicy shrimp and tuna rolls with aioli, and I knew I had to go the route of both spicy and seafood!
Since my little guy recently decided he LOVES shrimp (so strange, because he eats almost nothing), I had lots of shrimp ready to go in the freezer and decided to start with that.
For the veggie part, a good classic slaw mix (sans dressing, of course!) is perfect – although you can also mix up shredded cabbage, carrots, and even broccoli or brussels sprouts to make it your own. Most grocery stores have lots of pre-mixed shredded veggie blends, so choose the one that speaks to you!
Next we have the flavors! Coconut aminos (similar in flavor to soy sauce), sesame oil, hot sauce, garlic and ginger make up the bulk of the flavors in the stir fry itself.
For the aioli, it’s much of the same, and you can go as spicy or mild as you choose depending on the amount of hot sauce and cayenne pepper you use.
I prefer all my aioli recipes to begin with my homemade mayo (2 minutes in an immersion blender), but you can also start with store-bought avocado oil mayo if you prefer not to make your own. Either way, you won’t be disappointed!
Meal hack – you can definitely make the aioli ahead of time and store it covered in the refrigerator until ready to use. Up to 2 days ahead of time should be just fine.
Additionally, you can mince/chop/slice your garlic, ginger, and scallions to save time. Another huge time saver? Cooking the shrimp during meal prep! These steps take a 30 minute meal down to a 15 minute meal – which often makes all the difference on weeknights for me.
I hope you’re ready to fall in love with a new meal – spicy shrimp egg roll in a bowl, here we come!

I love your breakfast egg roll recipe! All the crunchy veggies are so delicious 🙂
This was so good tasty and very easy to make. I added some chopped broccoli to the slaw too because I had it. Loved it! Thanks.
Made this. Tasty and easy and also still delicious next day.
Thrilled to hear that!
What a cool way to eat an egg roll. We love shrimp egg rolls and also love variety! Now for planning to make them…….
Hope you enjoy!
THIS! Too yummy. Reminded me of a Torchy’s shrimp taco (we have a them in Texas) but much better for me I’m sure. Well done!
My husband and I love this recipe! I make it a lot and it’s always a meal to look forward to!
i made this last night- i was blown away by how delicious it was!
and of course, it was great to do most of the prep work ahead of time.
thank you!!
That’s awesome, happy you enjoyed!
I started whole30 a year ago and have eaten paleo since that was completed. This has become one of my favorite paleo meals! It is soooo good! I’ve added it to my permenant recipe box. Thank you, thank you, for making paleo Living so yummy!
I think the fat amount is way off on your nutrients.
This is my family’s favorite meal. I am in love!!!! Thank you for this!
Should it be 3 teaspoons of aminos rather than 3 tablespoons? I used 3 tablespoons and it was inedible because it was so salty.
I’m not sure which aminos you used, but with Coconut Secret coconut aminos it wasn’t too salty.
I made this for dinner tonight and it was SOO DELICIOUS!!!!!! Made without any modifications and it was perfect! Thank you!!
Awesome recipe and super simple!! So glad I found your website
Family favorite!
My husband is so excited every time I make this! So good!
I am so loving these egg rolls in a bowl. I do cheat and use lime chipotle Mayo instead. Thanks for the recipe.
I loved it overall. I thought it was a bit oily. I think I’ll try only one Tbsp of sesame oil at the end. Maybe I will use the other to stir fry the veg and just leave out the second Tbsp of coconut oil.
