Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces rice paper wrappers
- 200 grams cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 100 grams fresh spinach leaves
- 1 medium carrot, julienned
- 1 medium cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 1 large avocado, thinly sliced
- 20 grams fresh mint leaves
- 20 grams fresh basil leaves
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 2 tablespoons water
Instructions
Prepare all your ingredients before assembling the rolls: julienne the carrot and cucumber, thinly slice the bell pepper and avocado, and peel and devein the shrimp if not already done.
In a medium bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, lime juice, honey, grated ginger, and water. Stir well to create a dipping sauce and set aside.
Fill a large shallow dish or pie plate with warm water. Working with one rice paper wrapper at a time, dip each wrapper into the water for about 15-20 seconds, or until it starts to soften.
Place the softened rice paper on a clean, damp surface like a cutting board or a damp kitchen towel.
Place a small portion of spinach leaves on the lower third of the rice paper. Top with a few pieces of shrimp, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, avocado, mint leaves, and basil leaves.
Carefully fold the bottom of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll it up tightly into a cylinder. Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.
Arrange the finished rolls on a serving platter. Serve immediately with the dipping sauce on the side.
