Instructions
1. In a small bowl, combine olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Whisk together to form a dressing and set aside.
2. Prepare all the vegetables by julienning the cucumber, red bell pepper, and carrot. Thinly slice the red cabbage.
3. Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 5 seconds until it's just pliable. Lay it flat on a clean work surface.
4. Arrange 2 cooked shrimp in a line across the center of the wrapper.
5. Add a few slices of cucumber, red bell pepper, carrot, and a pinch of sliced red cabbage.
6. Add a few leaves of mint and basil, then sprinkle a small amount of crumbled feta cheese on top.
7. Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling and then roll tightly from the bottom to the top, like a burrito. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
8. Serve the summer rolls immediately with the prepared olive oil and lemon dressing on the side for dipping.
