Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water to stop cooking, and set aside.
Prepare all vegetables by julienning the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Remove the seeds from the cucumber.
Wash and dry the fresh mint, cilantro, and Thai basil leaves. Set them aside with the lettuce leaves.
Prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together peanut butter, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, lime juice, sugar, and hot water. Stir until smooth and finish with chopped roasted peanuts for garnish.
Fill a large shallow dish or a skillet with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper for 10-15 seconds until softened. Carefully remove it and place on a clean, damp kitchen towel or cutting board.
In the center of the rice paper, arrange a small amount of cooked noodles, halved shrimp, julienned vegetables, a lettuce leaf, and a few fresh herbs.
Fold the sides of the rice paper toward the center, then roll tightly from the bottom upwards. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
Cut each spring roll in half (optional) and serve immediately with the peanut dipping sauce.
