Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Prepare the peanut dipping sauce by whisking together 1/3 cup peanut butter, 3 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl until smooth and slightly runny.
  2. Step 2: Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper into the water for 10 seconds until pliable but not too soft; lay flat on a clean surface.
  3. Step 3: On the lower third of the wrapper, arrange 3 halved cooked shrimp, a small handful of 1 cup cooked rice vermicelli noodles, 2 tbsp julienned carrot, 2 tbsp julienned cucumber, and a mix of fresh herbs including 1 tbsp each of mint, cilantro, and basil leaves.
  4. Step 4: Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then tightly roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling completely. Repeat with remaining wrappers and ingredients.
  5. Step 5: Serve the rolls with the peanut dipping sauce garnished with 2 tbsp crushed peanuts for texture and extra flavor.
