Ingredients

  • 12 rice papers gluten-free
  • 1 bunch cilantro
  • 1 bunch basil
  • 1 lb medium-sized shrimp cooked^
  • 4-5 oz Vermicelli noodles gluten-free, cooked
  • 1 large carrot julienned
  • 1 large cucumber julienned
  • 1 c cabbage thinly sliced
  • Peanut Dipping Sauce
  • 1/3 c peanut butter smooth
  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce gluten-free
  • 2 tsp brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp Sriracha sauce
  • 3-6 Tbsp warm water

Preparation

Step 1

Instructions
Fill a large pan or baking dish with 1-2 inches of warm water. You’ll want the dish to be large enough to fit a piece of rice paper into it.
Dip one piece of rice paper into the warm water and let soak for 10-15 seconds. Just as the rice paper begins to soften, remove it from the water and place on a plastic cutting board. *
In the middle of the rice paper layer cilantro, basil, shrimp, vermicelli noodles, carrots, cucumber, and cabbage.
Starting from the side closest to you, cover the ingredients with one side of the rice paper. Next, fold the right and left sides of the rice paper to cover the ingredients. (see image)
Vietnamese Fresh Spring Rolls are full of basil, cilantro, shrimp and veggies and then paired with a slightly spicy peanut sauce. They make a great gluten-free and low-calorie appetizer or main dish for your next party or get-together!
Beginning from the side of the roll that is closest to you, roll the rice paper and ingredients like a burrito until it makes a tight spring roll.
Repeat with remaining ingredients and rice paper.
For the Peanut Sauce:
Combine peanut butter, soy sauce, brown sugar, and Sriracha sauce. Mix until combined. Slowly add water, one tablespoon at a time, until desired consistency is reached.**
Recipe Notes
^Can leave shrimp out if vegan or vegetarian.

*Plastic tends to work best. If placed on a wooden surface the rice paper will stick more.

** Depending on your peanut butter, this can be as little as 3 tablespoons or up to 6 tablespoons.
