Fresh Spring Rolls

fresh spring rolls with shrimp and a peanut dipping sauce.

Ingredients

For the Rolls

  • Shrimp (cooked in butter, paprika, salt + pepper until pink)
  • Rice paper wraps
  • Cucumber
  • Bell peppers (any colors!)
  • Thinly sliced carrots
  • Red cabbage
  • Avocado
  • Cilantro
  • Thai basil
  • Jalapeños
  • Tomatoes
  • Spring mix
  • Microgreens

Peanut Dipping Sauce

  • 1 cup peanut butter
  • 1 tbsp rice vinegar
  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup soy sauce
  • water (Splash of water)
  • sriracha (Optional: for heat)

Method

  1. 1

    Cook your protein: Sauté shrimp in a little butter with paprika, salt, and pepper until pink. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Prep the veggies: Chop or thinly slice all vegetables so they layer easily.

  3. 3

    Soften the rice paper: Dip each wrap in lukewarm water for 20–30 seconds, then lay flat on your plate.

  4. 4

    Assemble: Add your fillings to the center—about 60% of the wrap space.

  5. 5

    Roll: Fold the sides in and roll tightly like a burrito. Set aside gently (they can tear easily!).

  6. 6

    Make the sauce: Whisk all peanut sauce ingredients together until smooth. Let it rest while you prep so it thickens perfectly.

  7. 7

    Serve + enjoy: Dip, crunch, and fall in love.
