- 2 tablespoons Whole30 compliant fish sauce

- 1 teaspoon Ginger, freshly grated

Instructions
Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add 1 teaspoon of salt and the shrimp. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until shrimp are pink and cooked through. Drain and set aside to cool completely.
Prepare a clean, flat workspace and a large shallow dish filled with warm water.
Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 15 seconds until it softens. Lay it flat on the workspace.
In the center of the wrapper, place 2 pieces of shrimp, a few strips of cucumber, carrot, and red bell pepper, a piece of lettuce, and some mint, cilantro, and basil leaves.
Top with a slice of avocado.
Fold the sides of the rice wrapper over the filling, then tightly roll it up from the bottom to enclose the filling.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.
To make the dipping sauce, in a small bowl, whisk together the Whole30 compliant fish sauce, fresh lime juice, almond butter, grated ginger, minced garlic, and crushed red pepper flakes until smooth.
Serve the salad rolls with the dipping sauce on the side.
