Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your flavorful Shrimp Salad Rolls:
1. Cook the Shrimp: In a pot of boiling salted water, cook the shrimp for about 3-4 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Remove from heat and drain. Let them cool before slicing in half lengthwise.
2. Prepare the Filling: In a bowl, combine the shredded lettuce, julienned carrots, sliced cucumber, fresh cilantro leaves, and sliced avocado.
3. Make the Dressing: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the lime juice, fish sauce, sesame oil, and season with salt and pepper.
4. Soften the Rice Paper Wrappers: Fill a shallow dish with warm water. One at a time, dip the rice paper wrappers in the water for about 10-15 seconds or until softened. Lay them flat on a clean surface.
5. Assemble the Rolls: On the bottom third of each rice paper, place a little of the filling mixture and a piece of shrimp. Drizzle a small amount of dressing over the filling.
6. Roll Up: Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it tightly from the bottom to the top, creating a neat roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
7. Serve: Arrange the rolls on a platter and serve with dipping sauce on the side.
Creating Shrimp Salad Rolls can be a fun activity, especially when involving family or friends.
