Shrimp Spring Rolls

Step 1

Prepare the rice noodles according to the package instructions.

Step 2

If not using grated carrots, peel & grate the carrots using a veggie peeler or box grater.

Step 3

Peel & remove the tails from the shrimp (if needed).

Step 4

Rinse the rice noodles under cold water. Then drain them thoroughly.

Step 5

To make the rolls, you'll need a shallow dish filled with 0.5 inch of warm water. (A pie pan works great for this!)

Step 6

Place 1 sheet of rice paper in the warm water. Let it soak for about 10 seconds. It will still be slightly firm when you remove it. Transfer it to your work surface.

Step 7

Fill the wrap with 2 mint leaves, 2 pieces of shrimp, a pinch of carrots & a pinch of vermicelli. Do not overfill the roll!

Step 8

Fold in the sides, then roll it up tightly.

Step 9

Continue making the rest of your spring rolls. If not serving immediately, the rolls may stick together or to the plate. In that case, wrap each roll in plastic wrap!

Step 10

Serve with soy sauce. Dip & enjoy!
