These rolls are my take on a light and easy meal or appetizer that is perfect for the warm summer days and nights. Fresh crunchy carrots and cucumber with lettuce, rice noodles and a trio of fresh herbs because I couldn’t decide which to use, so I used all 3 and they all are delicious together. What herbs you use, is up to you. With the addition fresh shrimp all wrapped in rice paper, all you need to do is dip them into a good sauce, of which I have a choice of 3. I have a recipe for a Trio of Asian Dipping Sauces that has consistently been one of my most popular recipes since December 2014. I thought it was time to make something to give my readers something dip into the sauces. Honey sesame sauce Savory peanut sauce Spicy soy sauce If you take some help from the grocery store and buy already cooked shrimp, the only ‘cooking’ (and it’s not really cooking) is to prepare the rice noodles. Fried egg rolls seemed too heavy for summer and these Vietnamese Summer Shrimp Vegetable Rolls (Gỏi cuốn) seemed like the logical choice. Vietnamese Summer Shrimp Vegetable Rolls – Step by Step Soak 1 sheet of rice paper in warm water for 5 seconds. Lay the wrapper flat on a cutting board and add lettuce, carrots and cucumber. Add cooked rice noodles. Lay mint, basil and cilantro on top of rice noodles. Place 3 shrimp in front of the stack (this way they will show through the roll). Starting closest to you, take the edge of the wrapper and roll over the veggies. When you get to the shrimp, tuck in the sides and continue rolling.
