Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring a pot of water to a boil, add rice noodles, and cook until tender, ~3 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool.

  2. Step 2

    Cut cooked shrimp in half lengthwise if large. Whisk peanut butter with 2 tbsp warm water, juice of half the lime, and sriracha until pourable.

  3. Step 3

    Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper into water for 3 seconds until pliable, then lay flat on a cutting board.

  4. Step 4

    Lay a small handful of noodles in the center, top with 3 shrimp halves (cut-side down for pretty appearance), a few cucumber strips, and 3-4 mint leaves.

  5. Step 5

    Fold bottom of wrapper over filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly away from you until sealed. Place seam-side down on a plate.

  6. Step 6

    Repeat with remaining wrappers and filling. Arrange rolls on a platter, serve with peanut sauce alongside, and squeeze fresh lime juice over the top.
