Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove the shrimp and let cool.
Cook the rice vermicelli noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool. Set aside.
Prepare the dipping sauce by combining lime juice, fish sauce, honey, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Stir well and set aside.
Prepare all vegetables and herbs: julienne the carrot and cucumber, thinly slice the red bell pepper, and slice the avocado.
To assemble the spring rolls, fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 5-10 seconds until pliable.
Lay the softened wrapper on a clean, damp surface. In the lower third of the wrapper, place 1-2 mint leaves, a few cilantro leaves, 1-2 pieces of shrimp, a small bundle of rice noodles, julienned carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, and avocado slices.
Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly but gently, keeping the ingredients in place.
Repeat the process with the remaining wrappers and ingredients.
Serve the spring rolls with the prepared soy-free dipping sauce.
