Instructions
Begin by preparing the vermicelli rice noodles according to the package instructions. Typically, soak them in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until soft, then drain and set aside.
Prepare a large shallow dish or plate with warm water for soaking the rice paper wrappers.
Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 10-15 seconds until it softens. Remove and place it on a clean surface or damp towel.
Lay a lettuce leaf in the center of the rice paper. On top, add a small portion of vermicelli noodles, 2 cooked shrimp, a few julienned carrots, cucumber, 2 mint leaves, and 2 cilantro leaves.
Fold the bottom of the rice paper wrapper up over the filling, then fold in the sides and roll tightly to form a secure roll. Repeat with remaining rice paper wrappers and ingredients.
To make the cashew dipping sauce, combine roasted cashew butter, coconut milk, soy sauce, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and salt in a small bowl. Whisk together until smooth and creamy.
Serve the shrimp rolls alongside the cashew dipping sauce. Enjoy immediately for the freshest flavor!
