Prep Time 15 minutes
Total Time 15 minutes
Servings: 2 summer rolls
Course: No-cook
Cuisine: No-cook

Ingredients
  

  • 20 pieces of cooked large shrimp
  • 6 pieces of rice paper
  • 10 pieces of lettuce
  • 1 cup of red bell pepper sliced thinly
  • 1 cup of carrots sliced thinly
  • 1 cup of cucumber sliced thinly
  • 1 avocado sliced thinly
  • Summer Roll Sauce
  • ½ cup peanut butter
  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup rice vinegar
  • ¼ cup hot water plus more if you want it thinner sauce
  • ¼ cup agave any sweetener
  • 2 tablespoon tahini
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil

Method
 

  1. Make the Sauce: In a small bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, hot water, agave, tahini, and sesame oil until smooth. Add more hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, to thin the sauce if needed. Set aside.
  2. Prepare the Rice Paper: To make a jumbo roll, layer 3 rice papers together slightly overlapping (like a triangle formation) on a clean surface. Lightly dip each rice paper in warm water for 5–7 seconds and lay them on a damp cutting board or clean surface. They’ll soften as you assemble.
  3. Fill the Rolls: Place 10 shrimp pieces, a few lettuce leaves in the center of the layered rice paper. Top with sliced bell pepper, carrot, cucumber, and sliced avocado. 
  4. Roll It Up: Fold the bottom of the rice paper up over the filling, then fold in the sides. Roll tightly but gently from the bottom up, like a burrito.

  6. Enjoy! 

Notes

Here are 3 top tips for making perfect summer rolls:
  • Don’t Over-Soak the Rice Paper: Dip the rice paper in warm water for just 5 - 7 seconds. It will continue softening as you assemble. Over-soaking makes it too fragile and sticky.
  • Prep Everything First: Have all your fillings (cooked shrimp, veggies and herbs) prepped and ready to go before you start rolling to keep the process smooth and quick.
  • Tight, but not too tight: Roll snugly so the ingredients stay in place, but not so tight that the rice paper tears. Practice makes perfect.
