Ingredients
- 12 pieces rice paper wrappers
- 200 grams cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large avocado, thinly sliced
- 20 grams fresh mint leaves
- 20 grams fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare all your ingredients before assembling the rolls: julienne the carrot and cucumber, thinly slice the bell pepper and avocado, and peel and devein the shrimp if not already done.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, lime juice, honey, grated ginger, and water. Stir well to create a dipping sauce and set aside.
Step 3
Fill a large shallow dish or pie plate with warm water. Working with one rice paper wrapper at a time, dip each wrapper into the water for about 15-20 seconds, or until it starts to soften.
Step 4
Place the softened rice paper on a clean, damp surface like a cutting board or a damp kitchen towel.
Step 5
Place a small portion of spinach leaves on the lower third of the rice paper. Top with a few pieces of shrimp, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, mint leaves, and basil leaves.
Step 6
Carefully fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly into a cylinder. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Step 7
Arrange the finished rolls on a serving platter. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
