Ingredients

  • 400g raw large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 8 round rice paper wrappers (22cm)
  • 100g rice vermicelli noodles
  • 1 large carrot, julienned
  • 1 cucumber, julienned
  • 1 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1 cup fresh coriander leaves
  • 1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves
  • 4 butter lettuce leaves, halved
  • 4 tablespoons smooth peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon warm water
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 clove garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
  • Crushed peanuts for garnish

Instructions

1

Bring a medium pot of water to boil. Add shrimp and poach for 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and reach an internal temperature of 75°C. Drain and place in ice water to stop cooking. Once cooled, slice each shrimp in half lengthwise.

2

Cook rice vermicelli according to package instructions, drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.

3

Prepare the peanut dipping sauce by whisking together peanut butter, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, warm water, sesame oil, garlic, and lime juice until smooth. Set aside.

4

Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for 10-15 seconds until pliable but not too soft.

5

Lay the softened rice paper on a clean damp surface. Place a lettuce leaf on the lower third, then add a small handful of vermicelli, julienned carrot, cucumber, and fresh herbs.

6

Fold the bottom edge over the filling, then fold in the sides tightly. Place 3-4 shrimp halves pink-side down along the fold line, then continue rolling tightly to seal.

7

Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling ingredients to make 8 rolls total.

8

Slice each roll in half diagonally and serve immediately with peanut dipping sauce, garnished with crushed peanuts.
