Translucent sheets of rice paper hint at the fresh ingredients inside these little pouches. Because the paper is very fragile, make sure to buy extra to work with. Spring rolls can be made up to three hours before serving.

Steps:
- To make the dipping sauce: combine the first 6ingredients in a small bowl and season, to taste, with red pepper flakes. Set aside.
- To make the rolls: in a large bowl combine the bean thread noodles, cabbage, carrots, green onion, and sesame seeds. Place the cilantro, mint and shrimp in separate work bowls nearby.
- To soften the rice paper, fill a pie plate or shallow baking dish with tepid water. Place 2 or 3 rice paper sheets in the water and allow to soak about 45 seconds to 1 minute. Remove 1 at a time and carefully stack between sheets of paper towels. Continue soaking and draining until you have softened 16 rice sheets.
- Turn over the stack and begin working from the bottom of the stack first. Place a softened rice paper sheet on a clean work surface. On the bottom third of the sheet, pile 1/4 cup of the noodle mixture. Just above the noodles, place a shrimp half, skin side down, and top with a cilantro leaf and mint leaf. Fold the bottom of the paper up and over the noodle mixture, then fold each side toward the center, rolling gently and as tightly as possible from the bottom until completely rolled. Place rolls seam side down on a plate and continue until all ingredients have been used.
- Keep assembled rolls under wet paper towels covered with plastic wrap. Store at room temperature up to 3 hours, do not refrigerate.
SHRIMP AND PEANUT BUTTER NOODLES
A staple for me in college, this is a sweet, salty, nutty dish that can be cooked up in less than 15 minutes. Measurements for the sauce can be adjusted for your taste, but with these ingredients, you can't go wrong! I use pre-washed, pre-cut broccoli florets to cut down on prep time as well.

PEANUT NOODLES WITH SHRIMP
Don't order takeout. You can make these super easy Thai-inspired peanut noodles at home for a fraction of the cost. First, make a quick peanut sauce of peanut butter (chunky or smooth, your call), lime juice, lime zest, sugar, fish sauce and water. Toss rice noodles into boiling water and remove from heat to soften. Meanwhile, sauté the shrimp with a heady combination of scallions, carrots, garlic and chile (for a meatless version, leave out the shrimp or substitute tofu). When the noodles are soft, but not mushy, drain and toss with the shrimp, vegetables and peanut sauce. Garnish with herbs and lime wedges. Now go directly to your junk drawer and throw away all of your takeout menus.

Steps:
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and salt it. Cut two limes into wedges and set aside. Grate zest from remaining lime into a large bowl and squeeze in its juice. Add peanut butter, sugar, nam pla and enough water to make a smooth sauce (start with 1/2 cup and add more as needed).
- When water comes to a boil, put noodles in pot; remove from heat.
- Put oil in a large skillet over high heat. A minute later, add shrimp and season with salt. Cook and stir until shrimp just begins to turn pink. Add scallions, carrots, garlic and chile and keep cooking and stirring until vegetables soften a bit and shrimp cooks through, just a minute or two more. Remove from heat.
- Noodles should be soft but not mushy; if they are not soft enough, let them sit a few more minutes. Drain noodles and toss them in a bowl along with shrimp mixture and peanut sauce. Sprinkle with lots of pepper and toss well; taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve hot or at room temperature, garnished with herbs and lime wedges.

PEANUT SAUCE OVER SHRIMP SKEWERS AND RICE NOODLES
Inspired by the flavors of Southeast Asia, GZ makes his take on Vietnamese bun with rice vermicelli, grilled soy-lime shrimp and julienned carrots and daikon. In place of the usual tangy fish sauce dressing, he tops the noodle bowl with a richer peanut sauce. Store-bought peanut butter is a shortcut for the traditional whole roasted peanuts and palm sugar in the satay-style sauce. To add a fragrant citrus note, he adds a dab of lemongrass paste from the tube. This versatile sauce pairs well with chicken and pork, as well as shrimp, and is delicious mixed into the noodles.

Steps:
- To make the sauce: Combine the coconut milk, peanut butter, chile sauce, lime juice, vinegar, lemongrass paste, fish sauce and black pepper. Season with a pinch of salt. Add water to thin as needed. Whisk to combine and set aside.
- For the noodles: Heat a griddle pan on medium-high heat or preheat a broiler to high. Skewer 3 shrimp with two parallel skewers to make 4 skewers with 3 shrimp each. Sprinkle the shrimp with salt and pepper. In a small bowl, combine the soy with the lime juice and zest; reserve half in a separate small bowl. Brush or drizzle one of the portions of soy-lime over the shrimp. Cook on the griddle until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Brush the shrimp with the remaining soy-lime. Add a touch of olive oil to the shrimp after flipping to avoid sticking.
- Toss the noodles in a bowl with the sesame oil and the black and white sesame seeds. Arrange the rice noodles at the bottom of a serving bowl. Drizzle some of the peanut sauce on top. Top with the carrots, cilantro, cucumbers, daikon and scallions. Add the shrimp skewers to the bowl. Serve warm with a lime wedge and extra peanut sauce on the side.

Steps:
- Shell the shrimp, rinse them and place them in a bowl. Sprinkle with coarse salt and add cold water to cover. Leave for at least five minutes.
- Mix the cornstarch with one tablespoon water until smooth. Lightly beat the egg white with a fork and mix in the cornstarch mixture.
- Rinse the shrimp, drain well and coat with the egg white. Leave to marinate for 10 to 15 minutes.
- Meanwhile, combine the black bean paste with chili, the soy sauce, sugar, sherry and sesame oil in a small bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- Heat the peanut oil in a wok or deep fryer until it is just hot enough so that a shrimp will float when added to it. Add the remaining shrimp and cook for 15 seconds - just enough to turn them opaque. Stir them with a fork or chopsticks to prevent them from sticking together. Be very careful not to overcook. Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels. (The oil can be reused twice, with seafood.)
- Pour off all but a tablespoon of oil. Add the peanuts and fry, stirring frequently until golden. Remove with slotted spoon. All these steps can be prepared in advance.
- Add the scallions and garlic to the oil and cook for one minute, stirring. Add the black bean-sherry mixture and stir well. Add the peanuts and the shrimp, just long enough to heat through. Serve immediately.

FRIED SHRIMP WITH PEANUT SAUCE
Steps:
- In a small heavy saucepan combine the peanut butter, the soy sauce, the lemon juice, the brown sugar, the garlic, 1/3 cup of the water, and the cayenne, bring the mixture just to a boil, whisking until it is smooth, and whisk in the scallion greens. Keep the sauce warm. In a small bowl whisk together the egg and the remaining 2 tablespoons water and add the shrimp. In a large plastic bag have ready the flour. Add the shrimp, drained well, to the flour, and in a sieve shake them to knock off the excess flour. In a deep skillet heat 1 inch of the oil until a deep-fat thermometer registers 275°F., in it fry the shrimp in 2 batches, stirring them once, for 1 minute, or until they are just cooked through, and transfer them with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain. Serve the shrimp with the sauce.

COCONUT SHRIMP WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE
Steps:
- Pat the shrimp dry with a paper towel. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, five-spice powder, salt, black pepper, cayenne, and beer until smooth. In another bowl, combine the shredded coconut with the bread crumbs. Holding the shrimp by the tail, dip them into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dip them into the coconut bread crumbs (turning and pressing to get full coverage). Keeping one hand dry will make this whole process neater.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat 1 inch of oil to 365°F. Gently submerge shrimp, about six at a time, and fry for about 3 minutes, or until golden brown. Transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate and sprinkle lightly with additional salt. Serve the shrimp warm, with Spicy Peanut Sauce.
- Spicy Peanut Sauce
- Place the garlic and ginger in a food processor and pulse until finely chopped. Add the stock, coconut milk, lime zest and juice, soy sauce, fish sauce, and sriracha, and purée. Add the peanut butter, and pulse to combine. Fold in the cilantro, and refrigerate until ready to serve.
- Bring the sauce to room temperature, and serve it with the coconut shrimp.
Tips:
- For a gluten-free version of the peanut sauce, use tamari instead of soy sauce.
- To make the peanut sauce ahead of time, simply whisk all of the ingredients together in a bowl and store it in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
- If you don't have a bamboo skewer, you can also use a toothpick to hold the shrimp pops together.
- Be sure to cook the shrimp thoroughly before serving.
- Serve the shrimp pops with your favorite dipping sauce, such as the peanut sauce, sweet and sour sauce, or cocktail sauce.
Conclusion:
Shrimp pops are a quick and easy appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. They are also a great way to get your kids to eat seafood. The peanut sauce is a delicious and easy-to-make dipping sauce that perfectly complements the shrimp. With just a few simple ingredients, you can have a delicious and impressive appetizer that everyone will love.
