Yield Serves 4 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup fish sauce (nam pla)
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Pinch of dried crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
16 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 cups hot water
8 6-inch-diameter Vietnamese spring-roll sheets
4 small Bibb lettuce leaves, halved
1/2 cup thin strips green onions
1/2 cup thin strips seeded peeled cucumber
4 teaspoons minced fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Mix first 4 ingredients in small bowl. Set dipping sauce aside.
  • Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add shrimp and cilantro; sauté until shrimp are just cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour hot water into large bowl. Using tongs, dip 1 spring-roll sheet in water 5 seconds. Remove from water; place on wet towel. Let stand 30 seconds (spring-roll sheet should be soft and pliable; if still stiff, sprinkle with more water).
  • Place half of lettuce leaf across top third of spring-roll sheet. Arrange 4 shrimp halves on lettuce. Top with 1 tablespoon each of green onions and cucumber. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon mint over filling. Fold sides of spring-roll sheet over ends of filling. Starting at filled side, roll into cylinder. Place on plate. Repeat with remaining spring-roll sheets, lettuce, shrimp, green onions, cucumber and mint. Serve with sauce.

These spring rolls were a bit too spicy for me, but they were still good.

Not a fan of these spring rolls. The shrimp was bland and the rice paper wrappers were too thick.

These spring rolls were just okay. The shrimp was a bit overcooked and the rice paper wrappers were a bit too chewy.

I wasn't sure how these spring rolls would turn out, but they were surprisingly good! The rice paper wrappers were a bit tricky to work with, but the end result was worth it.

These spring rolls were a bit more work than I expected, but they were definitely worth the effort. The dipping sauce was amazing and the spring rolls themselves were crispy and flavorful.
