Ingredients
- 12 medium-sized shrimp (peeled and deveined) Shrimp
- 12 sheets Rice paper wrappers
- 100 grams Rice vermicelli noodles
- 6 leaves (cut into halves) Romaine lettuce
- 1 medium-sized carrot (julienned) Carrots
- 1 small cucumber (julienned) Cucumber
- 12 sprigs Fresh cilantro
- 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
- 3 tablespoons (for dipping sauce) Soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons (for dipping sauce) Peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon (for dipping sauce) Rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon (for dipping sauce) Honey
- 1 teaspoon (optional, for dipping sauce) Sriracha
- 0.5 cup (for dipping sauce) Warm water
Directions
Step 1
Boil water in a medium pot, then cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions (usually 3-5 minutes). Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.
Step 2
Bring a small pot of water to a boil and cook the shrimp for 2-3 minutes, until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and let them cool, then slice each shrimp in half lengthwise.
Step 3
Prepare all the vegetables: cut the lettuce into halves, julienne the carrot and cucumber, and pluck the cilantro and mint leaves.
Step 4
Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Gently submerge one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds, or until it softens and becomes pliable. Remove and place it flat on a clean surface.
Step 5
In the lower third of the rice paper, layer a piece of lettuce, a small handful of vermicelli noodles, a few julienned carrots and cucumbers, 1 sprig of cilantro, and 1 mint leaf. Place 2 shrimp halves just above the vegetable layer for visual appeal once rolled.
Step 6
Carefully fold in the sides of the rice paper, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to the top. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
Step 7
To make the dipping sauce, whisk together soy sauce, peanut butter, rice vinegar, honey, warm water, and optional sriracha in a small bowl until smooth and well combined.
Step 8
Serve the shrimp spring rolls on a plate with the dipping sauce on the side and enjoy immediately.
