Thai Shrimp Rolls image

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!

These were amazing! I made them for my family and they loved them. The shrimp were cooked perfectly and the sauce was delicious. I will definitely be making these again.

I had a lot of trouble getting the rice paper to roll properly. The rolls kept falling apart.

The shrimp rolls were good, but I found the sauce to be a bit too sweet for my taste.
