Shrimp and Chive Rolls image

Our shrimp-and-chive rolls are served with lettuce, cilantro, and mint, which are held in place around the rolls as they are eaten. They are dipped in nuoc cham, a classic sauce of lime juice, fish sauce, rice-wine vinegar, sugar, and thinly sliced chiles.

Yield Makes 12

Number Of Ingredients 13

2 pounds (about 60) small shrimp, peeled and deveined
4 ounces rice vermicelli
1/4 cup freshly squeezed lime juice (2 limes)
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
12 eight-and-a-half-inch rice-paper wrappers
1/2 seedless cucumber, cut in matchsticks
1/2 pound (about 2 cups) bean sprouts
1 bunch fresh chives, ends trimmed
1 head Boston lettuce, washed
1 bunch fresh mint
1 bunch fresh cilantro
Nuoc Cham (Vietnamese Dipping Sauce), for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Reduce to a simmer. Add cleaned shrimp; poach until pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes. Slice 12 cooked shrimp in half lengthwise. Set aside.
  • Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add vermicelli; cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; drain. Transfer to a bowl. Add lime juice, sesame oil, and salt; toss to combine. Set aside.
  • Dip a rice-paper wrapper into a bowl of warm water for 5 seconds; transfer to a clean work surface (wrapper will still feel hard but will soften as it sits). Lay 1/4 cup vermicelli on bottom third of rice paper; top with about 4 uncut shrimp and some cucumber and bean sprouts. Roll halfway, tucking in ends. Place chives and 2 shrimp halves on roll; continue to roll so chives and shrimp halves are enclosed but still showing through rice paper. Place finished roll on a plate; cover with a damp paper towel. Continue filling and rolling rice paper until all ingredients are used. Serve with lettuce, mint, and cilantro on the side.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my shrimp and chive rolls turned out really oily. I think I might have used too much oil in the frying process.

Not bad, but not great either. The shrimp and chive rolls were a bit bland for my taste. I think they needed more seasoning.

Wow! These were a fun and easy party food! I made them for a party of 15, and they were a big hit. I would recommend making the dipping sauce ahead of time.

Easy weeknight meal! I used wonton strips instead of rice paper, and it worked perfectly. The shrimp and chive filling was flavorful, and the rolls were crispy and delicious.
