INGREDIENTS
For Spring Rolls:
- 4 Rice paper wrappers
- 8 Shrimp, cooked, peeled, and deveined
- 8 Lettuce leaves
- 2 Avocados, sliced into strips
- 1 Red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
- 1 cup Carrots, shredded
- 1 cup Purple cabbage, shredded
- 1 Cucumber, peeled, cored, and cut into thin strips
- 1/2 cup Mint leaves, cut into thin strips
For Spicy Peanut Dipping Sauce:
- 1/4 cup Peanut Butter
- 3 tbsp Tabañero Curry Habanero sauce
- 2 tbsp Soy sauce
- 1 tbsp Toasted sesame oil
- 2 tbsp Rice vinegar
- 1 tbsp Honey
- 2 tbsp Water
- 1/2 tsp Fresh ginger, minced
- 2 Cloves garlic, minced
INSTRUCTIONS
- Prepare the rice paper wrapper by submerging it in a bowl of warm water until softened, usually about 30 seconds.
- Place the rice paper wrapper completely flat on a cloth or board.
- Add 2 lettuce leaves as your base, two pieces of shrimp, and a few strips of each of the following: avocado, red pepper, carrots, cucumber, purple cabbage, and mint. Do not overstuff your roll, keeping about 2 inches of the wrapper uncovered on each side.
- Begin to roll the wrap, folding the uncovered sides inward, then complete the roll. Rice paper is fragile and dries quickly so try to work quickly!
- Repeat the process to make 3 more rolls.
- Wet the blade of a sharp knife and cut the rolls in half. Place rolls in a bowl, cut side up.
- In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the peanut dipping sauce. Add more Tabañero Curry Habanero sauce if you prefer some extra kick.
- Drizzle this spicy peanut sauce onto your spring rolls or dip them in the sauce for a mouthwatering bite!
