Ingredients

• 12 large shrimp
• 8 rice paper wrappers
• 100 grams vermicelli rice noodles
• 1 medium carrot, julienned
• 1 medium cucumber, julienned
• 1 half red bell pepper, julienned
• 1 half avocado, sliced
• 0.5 cup mixed fresh herbs (mint, basil, cilantro)
• 4 big leaves lettuce leaves
• 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
• 1 tablespoon lime juice
• 1 teaspoon honey
• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, grated

Directions

Step 1

Bring a pot of water to a boil and add the vermicelli rice noodles. Cook for 2-3 minutes or until just tender. Drain and rinse under cold water. Set aside.

Step 2

In another small pot, bring water to a boil, add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes or until pink and opaque. Drain and cut each shrimp in half lengthwise. Set aside.

Step 3

Prepare a shallow dish with warm water. Dip each rice paper into the water for 5-7 seconds and lay it flat on a clean surface.

Step 4

On the bottom third of the rice paper, place a piece of lettuce, a small handful of noodles, a few slices of carrot, cucumber, red bell pepper, and avocado. Add 3 shrimp halves and a small bunch of the mixed herbs.

Step 5

Fold the sides of the rice paper over the filling, then roll it up tightly from the bottom like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

Step 6

In a small bowl, combine low-sodium soy sauce, rice vinegar, lime juice, honey, minced garlic, and grated ginger. Stir well to make the dipping sauce.

Step 7

Serve the summer rolls with the dipping sauce on the side.
