- 8 large cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined (approx. 250g)
- 8 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup shredded carrots (approx. 120g)
- 1 cup cucumber, julienned (approx. 100g)
- 1 cup red bell pepper, julienned (approx. 150g)
- 1 cup leafy greens (e.g., lettuce or spinach)
- ½ cup fresh herbs (e.g., mint, cilantro)
- Fresh lime wedges for serving
- ¼ cup hoisin sauce (approx. 60ml)
- 1 tablespoon peanut butter
- 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 teaspoon chili paste (adjust for heat preference)
- 1-2 tablespoons water (to thin, as needed)
Instructions:
- Julienne cucumber and red bell pepper. Shred carrots. Set aside leafy greens and fresh herbs.
- In a mixing bowl, combine hoisin sauce, peanut butter, rice vinegar, sesame oil, chili paste, and water. Whisk until smooth and adjust thickness as desired.
- Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Submerge one rice paper wrapper until soft (about 10-15 seconds). Carefully remove and lay flat on a clean surface.
- Place 2-3 shrimp, a small handful of vegetables, leafy greens, and herbs in the center of the rice paper. Fold the sides inward and roll tightly from the bottom to encase the filling.
- Soak, assemble, and roll remaining wrappers until all ingredients are used.
- Place finished rolls on a plate and refrigerate for 30 minutes if desired. Serve with dipping sauce and lime wedges.
