Ingredients
- 12 count rice paper wrappers (8-9 inch)
- 6 oz rice vermicelli noodles
- 1 lb cooked shrimp
- 1 head Bibb lettuce
- 2 count carrots
- 1 count cucumber
- 1 bunch fresh mint
- ½ cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tbsp hoisin sauce
- 1 count lime
Steps
- Cook the vermicelli per the package (about 3-5 minutes), rinse under cold water and drain.
- Halve the shrimp lengthwise. Cut the carrots and cucumber into thin matchsticks and tear the lettuce.
- Whisk the peanut butter, hoisin, lime juice and 4-6 tbsp hot water into a smooth dipping sauce.
- Dip one rice paper sheet in warm water for 10 seconds and lay it flat. Place shrimp halves, lettuce, noodles, vegetables and mint in the lower third.
- Fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Repeat. Set the table with fillings and let older kids roll their own.
- Picky eaters can skip the sauce and have plain noodles, shrimp and cucumber.
- Make ahead: mix the sauce and cut the veggies up to a day ahead and store them separately in the fridge. Roll just before serving.
On the side: Fresh fruit (2 min)
1 lb fruit (grapes or apples)
- Wash and slice the fruit and put it on the table.
