Ingredients

For the Spring Rolls:
🦐 12 large shrimp, cooked and peeled
🥬 1 cup lettuce or your favorite spring mix
🍜 120g rice noodles, cooked
🌿 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves
🥒 1/2 cucumber, julienned
🥕 1 cup shredded carrots
🥬 1 cup red cabbage, finely sliced
🥠 12 spring roll rice paper wraps

For the Peanut Dipping Sauce:
🥜 1/3 cup peanut butter
🍶 2 tablespoons soy sauce
🍚 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
💧 1/4 cup water
🍯 2 tablespoons sweet and sour sauce
🌶️ 1 tablespoon sriracha (optional, for a kick)

Instructions

1- Prepare the Peanut Dipping Sauce:

In a small mixing bowl, combine the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, water, sweet and sour sauce, and sriracha.
Whisk until smooth and well combined. Set aside for the flavors to meld together.

2- Assemble the Spring Rolls:

Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrap in the water for about 10-15 seconds or until soft and pliable. Carefully lay it out flat on a clean surface.
On the lower third of the wrap, place a layer of lettuce or spring mix. Add a small portion of rice noodles on top.
Next, layer a few pieces of red cabbage, shredded carrot, cucumber, and fresh basil leaves.
Add two cooked shrimp onto the vegetables.

3- Wrap the Spring Rolls:

Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling. Fold in the sides and roll tightly, like a burrito.
Repeat the process with the remaining ingredients.

4- Serve:

Arrange the spring rolls on a serving platter. Serve with the prepared peanut dipping sauce. Enjoy fresh!
