Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Prepare your workspace by arranging the shrimp, noodles, and vegetables in separate bowls for easy access.
Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until soft and pliable, then place it carefully on a clean surface or a damp cutting board.
Lay a lettuce leaf flat on the bottom third of the wrapper, leaving space on the edges for folding.
Place 2 pieces of cooked shrimp on top of the lettuce, followed by a small handful of rice noodles.
Add a few julienned strips of carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper over the noodles.
Top with 3 leaves each of mint, cilantro, and basil.
To roll, fold the bottom edge of the wrapper up and over the filling tightly. Fold in the sides and continue rolling to seal. Repeat this process for the remaining wrappers.
Serve the spring rolls with a dipping sauce made by combining gluten-free soy sauce and hoisin sauce, topped with crushed peanuts.
