Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 sheets Rice paper wrappers
- 16 pieces Cooked shrimp, peeled and halved
- 4 leaves Fresh lettuce leaves
- 1 cup Carrot, julienned
- 1 cup Cucumber, julienned
- 0.5 cup Fresh mint leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh basil leaves
- 0.5 cup Fresh cilantro leaves
- 2 ounces Rice vermicelli noodles
- 1 whole Lime, for serving
- 0.25 cup Salted peanuts, chopped for garnish
Instructions
Soak the rice vermicelli noodles in hot water for 5-7 minutes until soft. Drain and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
Prepare a large bowl of warm water. This will be used to soften the rice paper wrappers.
Submerge one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10 seconds, or until it becomes soft and pliable.
Carefully lay the softened rice paper wrapper on a clean, damp kitchen towel or cutting board.
Place half a lettuce leaf towards the bottom of the rice paper, leaving about 2 inches from the edge.
Layer a small amount of rice vermicelli noodles on top of the lettuce.
Add a few strips of carrot and cucumber followed by 2 pieces of shrimp.
Add a few mint, basil, and cilantro leaves over the shrimp.
To wrap, fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll firmly but gently until completely sealed.
Repeat the filling and rolling process with the remaining sheets and ingredients.
Serve the rice paper rolls with a wedge of lime and a garnish of chopped peanuts for extra flavor and texture.
