Ingredients
- 3 cups Fresh Express® Butter Supreme Crunchy Blend
- 12 rice paper wrappers
- 16 cooked shrimp, halved lengthwise
- 4 ounces rice vermicelli noodles, cooked
- 1 cup pre-shredded carrots
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
- 3 tbsp warm water
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tbsp rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey
- 1 lime, juiced
- 1 garlic clove, minced
- 1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Make the peanut sauce: Whisk together the peanut butter, warm water, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, garlic, and red pepper flakes until smooth. Set aside.
- Set up the filling station: Lay out the Fresh Express® Butter Supreme Crunchy Blend lettuce, shrimp, vermicelli noodles, shredded carrots, mint, and cilantro near your work surface.
- Soften the rice paper: Dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water until pliable.
- Layer the fillings: Lay the softened wrapper flat. Place a small handful of the Fresh Express blend, a few shrimp halves, a pinch of vermicelli noodles, a small pile of shredded carrots, and a few mint and cilantro leaves in the lower third of the wrapper.
- Roll tightly: Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll up tightly like a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling.
- Serve: Slice rolls in half, if desired, and serve immediately with the peanut sauce for dipping.
