Ingredients

Scale

Spring Rolls

  • 12 rice paper wrappers
  • 12 large cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined, and sliced in half lengthwise
  • 4 oz rice vermicelli noodles
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 1 small cucumber, julienned
  • 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 4 romaine lettuce leaves, cut into strips

Dipping Sauce

  • 1/2 cup peanut dipping sauce

Instructions

  1. Prepare Vermicelli Noodles: Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Once cooked, drain thoroughly and set aside to cool.
  2. Prepare Ingredients: Slice the cooked shrimp in half lengthwise. Julienne the carrot and cucumber, thinly slice the red bell pepper, and pick fresh mint and cilantro leaves. Cut romaine lettuce into strips for easy layering.
  3. Soften Rice Paper: Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable, then lay it flat on a clean surface.
  4. Add Fillings: Near the bottom third of the softened wrapper, layer romaine lettuce strips, vermicelli noodles, julienned vegetables, fresh herbs, and shrimp halves.
  5. Roll the Spring Roll: Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then tightly roll upward from the bottom to encase the filling completely, similar to rolling a burrito.
  6. Repeat: Repeat the softening and filling process with remaining wrappers and ingredient portions to make a total of 12 rolls.
  7. Keep Rolls Fresh: Cover the finished spring rolls with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out until you’re ready to serve.
  8. Serve: Serve the shrimp spring rolls immediately with peanut dipping sauce for a delicious and refreshing appetizer or snack.

Notes

  • You can substitute shrimp with cooked chicken or tofu to make a different version.
  • Make sure not to soak the rice paper wrappers for too long, or they may become too soft and tear while rolling.
  • If you like a spicier dipping sauce, add sriracha or chili flakes to the peanut sauce.
  • Prepare all ingredients in advance to speed up assembly time.
