Ingredients
  

For the Rolls
  • 1 pound Shrimp adds protein and flavor; substitute with cooked chicken or tofu for a meatless option.
  • 12 sheets Rice Paper Wrappers hold the rolls together; lettuce leaves make a great low-carb alternative.
  • 1 cup Fresh Herbs (Mint and Cilantro) add refreshing aromas; Thai basil works as an alternative.
  • 6 ounces Rice Vermicelli offers a chewy carbohydrate; swap with zucchini noodles for a keto option.
  • 1 head Romaine Lettuce contributes crunch; butter lettuce or shredded cabbage can be used instead.
For the Dipping Sauce
  • 1 cup Peanut Sauce or Hoisin-Lime Dip enhances the flavor profile; sweet chili sauce can also be used.

Equipment

  • skillet
  • shallow dish
  • Clean Surface

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Shrimp Spring Rolls
  1. Start by cooking your shrimp in a skillet over medium heat until they turn pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. While the shrimp cool, chop your vegetables.
  2. Fill a shallow dish with warm water and dip one rice paper sheet in the water for 5-7 seconds. Remove and place it on a clean, damp surface.
  3. Lay the softened rice paper on your working surface and layer a few pieces of shrimp, a small portion of rice vermicelli, and fresh herbs. Top with chopped veggies.
  4. Gently fold the sides of the rice paper towards the center over the fillings, then starting from the bottom, roll it tightly upwards.
  5. Once all shrimp spring rolls are rolled, arrange them on a serving platter. Pair with a peanut sauce or hoisin-lime dip.
