These homemade fresh Vietnamese Spring Rolls are easy to make and perfect for a light summer lunch or dinner with homemade Peanut Dipping Sauce, Chilli Garlic Sauce and Homemade Rice Paper

Ingredients

Peanut Dipping Sauce:

  • Depending on how you are serving your shrimp, you can leave the shells on or off. I peel and devein first and keep the shells for the shrimp boil.

Directions

Step1

Place the shells from the shrimp in a large sauce pan along with 1 Tbsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, and bay leaf. Add 8 cups water and bring to a boil over med/high heat. Once water boils, add the peeled and deveined shrimp and simmer until pink, about 2-3 minutes depending on size of the shrimp. Drain and transfer cooked shrimp to a bowl of cold water to stop the cooking process and let cool.

Step2

Cook noodles according to package instructions until softened (do not overcook) then drain in a colander and rinse with cold water. Let noodles drain in a colander until ready to assemble. You can also fill a saucepan with water and bring it to a boil, add the noodles, turn off the heat and let them sit in hot water for 5-7 minutes.

Step3

Assemble spring rolls One at a Time. Fill a shallow round bowl (wider than your wrappers) with very warm/hot water. Submerge spring roll wrapper for about 10-15 seconds or until softened(depending on the temperature of your water). Place wet spring roll wrapper on a clean and lightly wet cutting board.

Step4

Prep veggies – julienne cucumbers and carrots, remove stiff stems on lettuce leaves, coarsely chop cilantro.

Step5

Assemble spring rolls One at a Time. Fill veggies on one half in this order: lettuce, a generous pinch of noodles, carrots, cucumber, cilantro sprigs. Add shrimp on the second half, placing the shrimp cut-side up.

Step6

Tightly roll up the lettuce side first, tuck in the sides then roll over the shrimp so shrimp are visible on the outside. To serve – Transfer finished rolls to a serving platter and keep finished spring rolls covered with a damp kitchen towel so they do not dry out. For a prettier presentation, serve cut in half on the diagonal.

Step7

How to Make Peanut Dipping Sauce: In a mason jar, combine dressing and peanut butter, cover tightly with lid and shake until smooth and well combined.

Step8

Serve chilli garlic sauce and peanut sauce and Enjoy!!

    Looks good. I am allergic to shrimp, so I would not make this. Can it be made with anything other than shrimp?

      I’ve had them with all veggies and they’re very, very good. I’ve also seen them offered with Pork, but I’ve never made that version. 🙂
