Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Fill a shallow bowl with room-temperature water. Dip one rice paper sheet into water for 3-4 seconds until pliable but still firm.

  2. Step 2

    Lay the rice paper on a flat surface. Arrange 2-3 shrimp halves in a row near the bottom, hollow-side down, leaving space on the sides.

  3. Step 3

    Layer lettuce, a small handful of herbs, and cucumber slices over the shrimp in a tight band.

  4. Step 4

    Fold the bottom third of the rice paper over the filling, then fold in the left and right sides, and roll tightly toward the top.

  5. Step 5

    Repeat steps 1-4 with remaining rice paper, shrimp, and vegetables to make 12 rolls total.

  6. Step 6

    Whisk peanut butter with 3 tbsp warm water and 1.5 tbsp lime juice until smooth and pourable; season with salt and pepper to taste.

  7. Step 7

    Serve rolls immediately with peanut sauce on the side for dipping.
