Ingredients
- 24 fully cooked and peeled Costco shrimp
- 1 carrot cut into matchsticks (or julienned)
- 1 avocado thinly sliced
- 2 cups lettuce, thinly sliced
- 8 sprigs fresh cilantro
- 4 sprigs fresh mint* optional
- 4 oz vermicelli noodles
- 8 sheets Vietnamese rice paper large size
Peanut Dipping Sauce
- 1/3 cup peanut butter
- 2 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice wine vinegar
- 2 tbsp agave or maple syrup or honey
- 2 tbsp lime juice
- 2 tsp sriracha hot sauce
- 4 tbsp water (plus more depending on how thick your peanut butter is)
Instructions
- Add all the peanut sauce ingredients to a bowl and mix until blended. Set aside.
- Cook your noodles according to package instructions. Drain and and set aside along with the chopped vegetables and herbs.
- Prepare a bowl of warm water and a flat surface such as a cutting board. Dip the dry rice paper into the bowl by holding it up with both hands and wetting along the sides. Once all sides are wet, lay the rice paper flat. Do not submerge the entire rice paper into the water at once as it will crumble up and be very difficult to manipulate.
- Start assembling your roll by layering the lettuce, avocado, carrots, and vermicelli noodles about 1.5" up from the bottom edge of your rice paper.
- Fold in the sides of the rice paper then roll the bottom of the rice paper over the vegetables, then roll again and add a layer of the cilantro and mint. Roll again then add 3 pieces of shrimp before completing your final roll.
- Enjoy with homemade peanut sauce.
