Ingredients
- 1lb 16/20 jumbo shrimp peeled and deveined
- 2 small thin cucumbers
- 1 head leaf lettuce core removed then leaves separated
- 2 carrots peeled then cut into thin strips
- 1 avocado sliced
- 20 basil leaves large ones cut in half
- 20 mint leaves
- 10 rice paper rounds
Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce:
- 1/4 cup gluten free reduced-sodium Tamari or soy sauce if not GF
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 Tablespoon rice vinegar
- 1 Tablespoon siracha chili sauce or more or less - I used Lee Kum Kee brand
- 2-3 Tablespoons hot water
Instructions
- Add shrimp to a pot of salted, boiling water then simmer for 1-1/2 minutes or until cooked through. Drain, slice in half widthwise, then chill.
- Fit Spiralizer with the thin noodle blade then spiralize cucumbers with the peel on. Transfer noodles to a strainer to drain excess liquid while prepping remaining ingredients. Alternatively you could peel then seed a cucumber, and then cut into sticks.
- Fill a plate with a slight lip with hot tap water then dip a rice paper round in the water and let soak for 10-15 seconds, or until pliable but still with a little texture. Place wrapper on a cutting board then place three shrimp in the center. Top with a piece of lettuce then fill with a couple slices avocado, a few carrot sticks, a small handful of spiralized cucumber, and two leaves each fresh mint and basil. Pull the bottom of the rice paper round over the top of the ingredients tightly, then wrap the sides in and continue rolling like a burrito. Place onto a platter then continue with remaining ingredients.
- Whisk together Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce ingredients then taste and adjust rice vinegar and/or chili sauce if needed, adding more hot water to achieve desired consistency. Serve with Fresh Summer Rolls.
Notes
- If not eating right away, wrap platter tightly with plastic wrap then refrigerate for 1-2 hours. (You can chill longer - we've gone 1-2 days, but the wrapper gets a little tough.)
