- 6 leaves Large butter lettuce leaves
- 1 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 1 medium Red bell pepper, julienned
- 1 large Avocado, thinly sliced
- 1 cup Fresh cilantro
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 12 pieces Large shrimp, cooked and sliced
- 2 tablespoons Soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon Rice vinegar

- 1 medium Lime, juiced

Instructions
Begin by preparing all fresh ingredients. Wash and dry the lettuce leaves. Julienne the cucumber and red bell pepper, ensuring they are about the same length for uniform assembly.
Slice the avocado thinly and set aside with the cucumber, red bell pepper, shrimp, and fresh herbs (cilantro and mint).
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, minced garlic, chili flakes, lime juice, salt, and pepper to make a simple dipping sauce. Adjust seasoning to taste and set aside.
Lay out one coconut wrap on a clean, flat surface. Place a lettuce leaf on the bottom third of the wrap.
On top of the lettuce, lay a small amount of cucumber, red bell pepper, a few slices of avocado, and two pieces of shrimp. Sprinkle some cilantro and mint leaves over the top.
Carefully roll the wrap tightly, folding in the sides as you go to completely enclose the filling. Repeat the process with the remaining coconut wraps.
Once all the rolls are assembled, slice them in half diagonally to showcase the vibrant, colorful filling.
Arrange the summer rolls on a platter with the dipping sauce on the side. Serve immediately and enjoy the fresh flavors!
