Ingredients

• 12 pieces Rice paper wrappers
• 24 pieces Medium shrimp, cooked and peeled
• 4 ounces Rice noodles
• 1 medium Carrot, julienned
• 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
• 1 large Red bell pepper, julienned
• 6 large Fresh lettuce leaves
• 12 leaves Fresh mint leaves
• 12 sprigs Fresh cilantro leaves
• 3 tablespoons Hoisin sauce
• 4 tablespoons Peanut butter, creamy
• 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame oil
• 2 tablespoons Warm water
• 2 tablespoons Crushed peanuts (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Cook the rice noodles according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse with cool water, and set aside.

Step 2

Prepare the peanut dipping sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and warm water until smooth. Adjust the consistency with more water if necessary. Set aside.

Step 3

Prepare the vegetables: Julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Trim them to fit the rolls if needed.

Step 4

Set up a rolling station: Fill a large, shallow dish with warm water. Lay out all your prepared ingredients near a clean, flat surface for rolling.

Step 5

Soften one rice paper wrapper by dipping it in the warm water for about 10–15 seconds until pliable. Lay it flat on your work surface.

Step 6

Layer 2 cooked shrimp horizontally in the center of the wrapper. Place a small amount of rice noodles, a few julienned vegetables, a piece of lettuce, and a few mint and cilantro leaves on top.

Step 7

Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper tightly over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll it up tightly to seal. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

Step 8

Serve the rolls immediately with the peanut dipping sauce on the side. Garnish the sauce with crushed peanuts, if desired.
