Ingredients
  

For the Rolls
  • 1 lb Shrimp fresh or frozen, thawed and patted dry
  • 1 cup Fresh Mint or basil as a substitute
  • 1 cup Cilantro or parsley as a substitute
  • 4 oz Rice Vermicelli or spiralized zucchini for gluten-free
  • 4 leaves Romaine Lettuce or butter lettuce/shredded cabbage
  • 12 sheets Rice Paper Wrappers do not over-soak
For the Dipping Sauce
  • 1 cup Creamy Peanut Sauce or hoisin-lime/sweet chili sauce alternative

Equipment

  • Skillet
  • Shallow dish for soaking rice paper

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by washing and slicing your fresh herbs—mint and cilantro—and preparing your lettuce by cutting it into leaves. If you're using raw shrimp, cook them in a skillet over medium heat for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Meanwhile, soak the rice vermicelli noodles in warm water for 3-5 minutes until tender, then drain and set aside.
  2. Take a shallow dish and fill it with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 5-7 seconds, or until it's pliable yet still slightly firm. Lay the softened wrapper flat on a clean, dry surface.
  3. On the bottom third of the rice paper, layer a leaf of romaine lettuce, a small portion of vermicelli noodles, a few slices of shrimp, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs. Carefully fold the sides over the filling and roll tightly from the bottom.
  4. Arrange the finished shrimp spring rolls on a serving platter in an eye-catching manner. Pair them with your creamy peanut dipping sauce or any alternative of your choice.
