Ingredients
- 8 sheets (low-carb variant) Rice paper wrappers
- 16 pieces Cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined, sliced lengthwise)
- 8 pieces Butter lettuce leaves
- 16 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 8 sprigs Fresh cilantro sprigs
- 1 cup Bean sprouts
- 1 cup Shredded cucumber
- 1 cup Shredded carrots
- 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon Powdered erythritol or low-carb sweetener
- 2 teaspoons Fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon Chili garlic sauce
- 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
- 2 tablespoons Water
Directions
Step 1
Prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together coconut aminos, rice vinegar, powdered erythritol, fish sauce, chili garlic sauce, sesame oil, and water in a small bowl. Set aside.
Step 2
Gently wet a clean kitchen towel or damp paper towel and place it over your work surface.
Step 3
Fill a large dish or shallow bowl with warm water. Briefly dip one rice paper wrapper into the water, ensuring it’s coated but not over-soaked. Lay the wrapper flat on the damp kitchen towel.
Step 4
Add one lettuce leaf to the center of the wrapper, followed by 2 shrimp slices, 2 mint leaves, a sprig of cilantro, a small handful of bean sprouts, shredded cucumber, and shredded carrots.
Step 5
Carefully fold the sides of the rice paper wrapper over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom to create a compact roll. Repeat this process until all spring rolls are complete.
Step 6
Serve immediately with the prepared low-carb dipping sauce or cover with a damp cloth until ready to serve.
