Instructions
There are a few steps with these but they are all really simple. Get all your ingredients ready and then assemble.
Thaw and Marinate Shrimp
Remove Shrimp from packaging. Mix marinade with frozen shrimp and leave to thaw with the sauce, Once thawed, remove the tails. Discard any extra sauce
Make or take out store bought peanut sauce peanut sauce
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.
Roll your wrap up. Bottom up, sides in and then roll.
Serve with Peanut Sauce. PS: Its easiest to eat these whole. I only cut them in half for the photo to show you the filling.
