Steps:
- Soak the rice sticks in enough hot water to cover by 1 inch for 15 minutes.
- Bring 1/2 gallon of water to a boil in a large pot set over high heat. Add 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Add the shrimp and cook until just firm, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove the cooked shrimp to a cutting board and cool for 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, peel, devein, and coarsely chop. Set aside.
- Return the water-soy sauce to a boil. Drain the rice stick noodles and add to the hot soy-water. Cook until tender, approximately 3 minutes.
- Meanwhile, whisk the lime juice, remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce, chili paste, and sugar together in a medium mixing bowl.
- Drain the noodles in a colander. Add the noodles to the lime juice mixture, toss, and set aside while preparing the vegetables.
- Toss the cucumber, carrot, cilantro, and mint together in a small bowl. Transfer any unabsorbed liquid from the noodles to the cucumber mixture and toss to combine.
- Cut the noodles into small 1 to 2-inch pieces with kitchen shears.
- Fill a pie dish with warm water. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper into the water for 10 seconds, then transfer to a cutting board until the wrapper is pliable and slightly tacky, approximately 1 minute.
- Place 1/4 cup of the vegetable mixture on the bottom 1/3 of the wrapper nearest to you. Spoon 2 tablespoons chopped shrimp on top of the vegetables. Top with 1/4 cup noodles. Bring the bottom edge of the wrap tightly over the filling, and then fold in the 2 sides. Finish rolling from bottom to top until the entire wrapper is rolled. Be careful not to tear the rice paper. Place on a parchment-lined half sheet pan and cover with a damp tea towel. Repeat with the remaining wrappers until the filling is gone. Wrap each roll in a lettuce leaf and serve with Soy Ginger Dipping Sauce.
- Add all of the ingredients to a lidded jar and shake well to combine. Serve as a dipping sauce for spring rolls.

THAI SHRIMP ROLLS
These are easier to roll if you put the lettuce down first, but when you get the knack of rolling them, try putting 2 shrimp against where they will show when rolled up--most attractive for serving to guests!

THAI-INSPIRED SHRIMP CAKES
These are very tasty little appetizers! Serve them alongside some sweet Thai chili sauce for dipping. They're delicious hot or at room temperature. Keep the size fairly small and flat so that they cook through quickly!

Steps:
- Smash and mince the shrimp (don't mince too finely, you'll want some slightly larger pieces for texture).
- Dice the carrot lengthwise. Bring a small pot of water to a boil and par-boil the carrot until just barely tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Allow to cool enough to handle, and then mince the carrot.
- Add minced shrimp, carrot, minced water chestnuts, cilantro, egg white, rice wine vinegar, cornstarch, hoisin, sesame oil, ginger, fish sauce, sugar, salt, and pepper to the bowl of an electric stand mixer. With the flat paddle attached, set speed to medium and blend until the mixture really comes together and forms a sticky paste, about 5 minutes.
- Heat cooking oil in a large nonstick skillet. Form small flat patties with lightly oiled spoons or hands and fry in small batches (don't overcrowd the pan). Cook until golden brown and cooked all the way through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Repeat until all of the shrimp mixture has been used. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Tips:
- To make sure your shrimp wraps are packed with flavor, use fresh, high-quality ingredients. Look for plump, firm shrimp and crisp, colorful vegetables.
- Don't overcook the shrimp. Shrimp cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it or it will become tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp just until it turns pink and opaque.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your shrimp wraps. This will add color, flavor, and texture to the dish. Some good options include cucumber, carrot, bell pepper, and cabbage.
- Be generous with the herbs and spices. Herbs and spices add a lot of flavor to shrimp wraps. Don't be afraid to experiment with different combinations to find your favorite.
- Serve shrimp wraps with a dipping sauce. A dipping sauce adds extra flavor and moisture to the wraps. Some good options include sweet and sour sauce, chili sauce, or hoisin sauce.
Conclusion:
Shrimp wraps are a delicious, healthy, and easy-to-make appetizer or light meal. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be packed for lunch. With a little creativity, you can make shrimp wraps that are sure to please everyone at your table.
