Ingredients
1 pound large shrimp (31–40 count), peeled and deveined
2 cups shredded lettuce
1/2 cup rough chopped cilantro
2 sprigs mint, leaves removed and chopped fine
2 scallions, thinly sliced
8 ounces vermicelli rice noodles, cooked and drained
2 cups fresh bean sprouts
14 rice paper wrappers
For the dipping sauce:
1/2 cup hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon smooth peanut butter
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
Instructions
- Cook the shrimp in boiling water for 2–3 minutes until pink and cooked through. Drain, let cool, and slice each shrimp in half lengthwise.
- Prepare the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and let cool.
- Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 10–15 seconds until soft and pliable.
- Place the softened wrapper on a clean surface. Arrange shrimp halves, noodles, lettuce, bean sprouts, cilantro, mint, and scallions in the center.
- Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining wrappers and fillings.
- Whisk together hoisin sauce, peanut butter, rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic powder, and onion powder to make the dipping sauce.
- Serve the rolls fresh with the dipping sauce.
Notes
Best served fresh, but can be refrigerated with a damp paper towel for up to 24 hours.
The dipping sauce can be refrigerated for up to 5 days.
Do not over-soak rice paper to prevent tearing.
Try variations with tofu, chicken, or added vegetables for customization.
