Ingredients

• 8 pieces rice paper wrappers
• 16 pieces medium shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 medium cucumber, julienned
• 1 medium red bell pepper, julienned
• 16 leaves fresh basil leaves
• 16 leaves fresh mint leaves
• 1 small bunch fresh cilantro leaves
• 100 grams rice vermicelli noodles
• 1 large avocado, sliced
• 2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
• 1 medium lime, juiced
• 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 2 tablespoons peanut butter

Directions

Step 1

Bring a medium-sized pot of water to a boil and cook the shrimp until pink and opaque, about 2-3 minutes. Drain and let cool.

Step 2

In another pot, bring water to a boil and cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.

Step 3

Slice the cooked shrimp in half lengthwise and set aside.

Step 4

Prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together the gluten-free soy sauce, lime juice, hoisin sauce, rice vinegar, and peanut butter until smooth and well combined. Set aside.

Step 5

Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds, until soft and pliable. Place it flat on a clean surface.

Step 6

In the center of the wrapper, place 2 halved shrimp, a small amount of rice noodles, a few slices of carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, and avocado.

Step 7

Add 2 basil leaves, 2 mint leaves, and a few cilantro leaves on top of the arranged vegetables.

Step 8

Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling and then roll it up tightly from the bottom to the top, similar to a burrito. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.

Step 9

Place completed rolls on a serving platter, making sure they don't touch as they may stick together.

Step 10

Serve the summer rolls with the prepared dipping sauce immediately for a fresh and delicious treat.
