Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 250 grams Shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 medium Avocado, ripe
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Green onion, finely chopped
- 0.5 medium Cucumber, julienned
- 2 tablespoons Cilantro, chopped
- 4 large Lettuce leaves
- 4 pieces Rice paper wrappers
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
Instructions
1. Start by bringing a medium-sized pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and let them cool slightly.
2. Slice the cooked shrimp in half lengthwise and set aside.
3. Cut the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop the flesh into a bowl. Mash it with a fork, and mix in the lemon juice to prevent browning.
4. Add the chopped green onion, cilantro, and black pepper to the mashed avocado. Stir to combine.
5. Prepare the rice paper wrappers by filling a large bowl with warm water. Dip each wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until it is soft and pliable.
6. Lay one softened wrapper on a clean surface. Place a lettuce leaf in the center, top with a generous spoonful of avocado mixture, a few pieces of shrimp, and a small handful of cucumber julienne.
7. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, fold in the sides, and then roll it tightly away from you to form a neat roll.
8. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.
9. To serve, slice each roll in half and drizzle a bit of olive oil on the top for flavor. Enjoy your low sodium avocado shrimp rolls immediately.
