Method
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
