Ingredients

• 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 12 medium-sized Cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 6 leaves Fresh lettuce leaves
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
• 24 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro
• 1 cup Cooked rice vermicelli
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 3 cups Water
• 0.25 cup Low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons Rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon Honey
• 1 tablespoon Fresh lime juice
• 1 clove Garlic clove, minced
• 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes

Directions

Step 1

Prepare all ingredients by washing the vegetables. Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Tear the lettuce leaves into smaller pieces, and pluck fresh mint and cilantro leaves.

Step 2

In a small bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, fresh lime juice, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes to create the dipping sauce. Stir until honey is dissolved. Set aside.

Step 3

Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the water for about 15-20 seconds or until it softens. Remove it and place on a clean, damp kitchen towel.

Step 4

Place a piece of lettuce in the center of the wrapper. Layer with a small amount of rice vermicelli, julienned carrots, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Add 2 mint leaves, a few cilantro sprigs, and 1-2 shrimp halves.

Step 5

Sprinkle a tiny pinch of salt over the filling. Fold in the sides of the wrapper and roll tightly from the bottom up to make a neat roll.

Step 6

Repeat this process for the remaining rice paper wrappers and ingredients.

Step 7

Once all rolls are assembled, serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce.
