If you can roll up a wrap, you can make these.. Let me show you!

    Any veggies you want but I use:

    • Carrots

    • Yellow Bell Pepper

    Shrimp Marinade Ingredients

    Peanut Sauce Ingredients (You can 100% Buy Peanut Sauce at the Store too)

    • Peanut Butter
    • Red Chili Garlic Sauce
    • Soy Sauce
    • Rice Wine Vinegar
    • Lime or Lemon Juice

    I'm not all against salads. I have some pretty tasty ones on this site. Try my Beet and Berry Summer Salad with Feta Cheese after this. SO GOOD. I need to read a thesaurus as I think all my recipes are SO GOOD. haha.

    Are these Vietnamese Spring Rolls?

    Are these Vietnamese Spring Rolls? well..mmm no..kinda? These are a play on them. In addition to the ingredients I use, Vietnamese spring rolls have Vermicelli Noodles, pork and Lettuce in them. These shrimp spring rolls are just a bunch of vegetables and marinated shrimp. aka the best part of Vietnamese Spring rolls 😎

    FAQ

    How long do I soak the rice paper?

    So, true story: Most people soak rice paper too long. Even the packaging says to soak it too long. I soak it in COLD water for 5-10 seconds. It will continue to soften on the plate as you top it with ingredients.

    I don't like/have the vegetables that you listed for this Shrimp Spring Roll, what can I use instead?

    The world is your oyster. Snap Peas, Tomatoes, Lettuce, Green Cabbage, MANGO (doesn't have to be all veggies) Avocado. The possibilities are endless. Stuff it with the veggies you have on hand, that you and your family enjoy.

    Can I make these Spring Rolls ahead of time?

    Yes! These can be made up to a day in advance. Just cover up and refrigerate. Spray lightly with water before serving if you feel the need to moisten the rice paper again.

    I dislike shrimp, what else can I use?

    Pork! Commonly in Vietnamese rolls you will find shrimp and pork. You can honestly put whatever chilled meat you would like in these. They are a rolled up salad and you are the head chef in your Kitchen. 😀

      Prepare Vegetables

      • Wash, peel and slice the vegetables. The key here is get them all a similar length and thickness. This makes assembling the rolls much easier! This takes a bit of time if you're not used to these types of cuts. So, get a nice sharp knife and put on a podcast or playlist and enjoy the process. I would not recommend putting on a good show to watch as your eyes should be on your knife work 😉

      Rice Paper Wraps

      • Get out a dish that is bigger than the rolls. I find a cake pan or pie dish are the perfect vessel. Fill with cold water. I don't care what the package says just do this haha. Cold water.
      • Dip the wrappers in the water for about five seconds and then flip for five seconds take out and put on your plate. They will continue to rehydrate as you assemble your rolls. If you soak them too long they will tear and you'll have a mess on your hands so just quick in and out. On to the plate.😁

      Assemble

      • Place the hydrated wrap on a plate or cutting board. layer with ingredients. I find it works best to put the shrimp down first (3 per wrap) then the radish coins. Followed by the julienned vegetables.
