Instructions

1. Step 1: In a bowl, combine 2 tbsp fish sauce, 1 tbsp brown sugar, and 2 minced garlic cloves. Add 16 peeled and deveined large shrimp and marinate for 15 minutes.
2. Step 2: Preheat grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Grill shrimp for 2-3 minutes per side until pink and slightly charred, then remove from heat.
3. Step 3: Prepare the dipping sauce by whisking together 1/4 cup peanut butter, 2 tbsp hoisin sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, and 2 tbsp warm water until smooth.
4. Step 4: To assemble each roll, dip 1 rice paper wrapper into warm water until pliable (about 15 seconds), then lay flat on a clean surface. Layer about 1/8 cup cooked rice vermicelli noodles, 2 grilled shrimp, 2 tbsp julienned carrot, 2 tbsp julienned cucumber, 1 tbsp fresh mint leaves, and 1 tbsp fresh cilantro leaves near the bottom third of the wrapper.
5. Step 5: Fold the sides inward, then tightly roll from the bottom up to enclose the filling. Repeat with remaining wrappers and ingredients. Serve rolls with peanut dipping sauce.
