Step 1
Cut carrot and cucumber into 2-inch-long, thin matchsticks. Set aside on a plate.
Step 2
Tear herbs into bite-sized pieces. Arrange lettuce, herbs, carrot, and cucumber on a cutting board.
Step 3
If using shrimp, pat dry and slice each one in half lengthwise so you have 16 halves.
Step 4
Pour warm water into a shallow bowl. Dip one rice paper into water for 3 seconds until pliable.
Step 5
Lay wrapper on a clean surface. Arrange a lettuce leaf in the center, then layer 1 tbsp herbs, 2 tbsp vegetables.
Step 6
If using shrimp, place 2 halves on top, curved side down so pink shows when rolled.
Step 7
Fold bottom of wrapper up over filling, then fold sides in. Roll tightly away from you until sealed.
Step 8
Place seam-side down on a plate. Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling.
Step 9
Whisk hoisin, peanut butter, and lime juice until smooth. Serve rolls with dipping sauce.
