Ingredients

  • 12 rice paper wrappers
  • 12 large cooked shrimp, halved lengthwise
  • 4 oz thin rice noodles
  • 1 cucumber, cut into thin strips
  • 1 carrot, cut into thin strips
  • 6 lettuce leaves, torn
  • A handful of cilantro
  • Sauce: 1/4 cup peanut butter, 1 tbsp soy sauce, 1 tbsp lime juice, 1 tsp honey, 3–4 tbsp warm water

Instructions

  1. Cook the noodles. Soak or boil the rice noodles according to the package, rinse in cold water and drain.
  2. Make the sauce. Whisk the peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, honey and enough warm water to make it dippable.
  3. Soften the wrapper. Dip one rice paper sheet in warm water for about 10 seconds and lay it on a damp towel.
  4. Fill and roll. Lay 2 shrimp halves near the bottom, then some lettuce, noodles, cucumber, carrot and cilantro. Fold the bottom over, fold in the sides and roll up tightly. Repeat.
  5. Serve. Serve right away with the peanut sauce.
