Prepare rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
Wash and julienne the carrot, cucumber, and red bell pepper. Set aside.
Cut the green lettuce leaves in half to create smaller pieces for the spring rolls.
Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the warm water for 5 seconds until softened. Lay it flat on a clean surface.
Place a piece of lettuce near the center of the wrapper. Add a small handful of vermicelli noodles, a few julienned vegetables, one shrimp, one mint leaf, and one sprig of cilantro on top.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper wrapper up over the fillings. Fold in the sides, then roll tightly to form a spring roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
To prepare the pineapple dipping sauce, blend the pineapple chunks, lime juice, soy sauce, honey, chili flakes, and minced garlic in a blender or food processor until smooth.
Transfer the dipping sauce into a small bowl.
Serve the spring rolls immediately with the pineapple dipping sauce on the side.
