Equipment

  • large bowl
  • clean surface

Ingredients
  

  • 8-10 pieces rice paper wrappers
  • 12 pieces cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup vermicelli noodles, cooked
  • 1 cup lettuce leaves, chopped
  • 1 piece carrot, julienned
  • fresh mint and cilantro, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • Prepare the Shrimp: If not already done, cook the shrimp in boiling water for 2-3 minutes until opaque. Drain and set aside.
  • Soak the Rice Paper: Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until pliable. Remove and lay it flat on a clean surface.
  • Add the Noodles: Place a small handful of the cooked vermicelli noodles across the center of the rice paper.
  • Layer the Greens: Add a few pieces of chopped lettuce over the noodles for a crisp texture.
  • Place the Shrimp: Lay 2-3 shrimp on top of the lettuce for a protein boost.
  • Add Carrots and Herbs: Sprinkle some julienned carrots along with a few mint and cilantro leaves for flavor and aroma.
  • Roll the Spring Roll: Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll from the bottom up to encase everything, creating a tight roll.
  • Repeat: Continue the same process for the remaining wrappers until all the ingredients are used.
  • Serve: Place the finished spring rolls on a serving plate, ready to be enjoyed.

Notes

Serve with a dipping sauce such as hoisin or peanut sauce for added flavor. Feel free to customize the filling with other vegetables or proteins as desired. These rolls can be made ahead of time, but it’s best to consume them fresh for optimal texture.
