Ingredients

• 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 24 round rice paper wrappers (9 inches in diameter)
• 1 cup of thinly sliced julienne vegetables: carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, and lettuce
• 1/2 cup of fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup of fresh cilantro leaves
• 1/4 cup of roasted peanuts, crushed
• 1/2 cup of bean sprouts
• 1 avocado, sliced Mint Chili Dipping Sauce:
• 2 tablespoons of fish sauce
• 1 tablespoon of lime juice
• 1 tablespoon of honey
• 1 teaspoon of minced garlic
• 1 teaspoon of grated ginger
• 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 cup of fresh mint leaves, chopped
• 1/4 cup of fresh cilantro leaves, chopped

Instructions

1. Prepare the Mint Chili Dipping Sauce by whisking together fish sauce, lime juice, honey, garlic, ginger, red pepper flakes, mint leaves, and cilantro leaves in a small bowl. Set aside to allow flavors to meld.
2. In a large pot of boiling water, blanch the shrimp for 1 2 minutes until they turn pink and are cooked through. Drain and immediately plunge the shrimp into ice water to halt the cooking process. Slice the shrimp in half lengthwise.
3. Fill a shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for a few seconds until softened, then place it on a clean surface.
4. Arrange 2 sliced shrimp halves, julienne vegetables, mint leaves, cilantro leaves, roasted peanuts, bean sprouts, and avocado slices in a horizontal line along the center of the rice paper wrapper.
5. Fold the sides of the rice paper wrapper over the filling, then roll up the bottom part of the wrapper to enclose the ingredients. Repeat with remaining ingredients and wrappers.
6. Slice each summer roll diagonally into two pieces. Serve immediately with Mint Chili Dipping Sauce on the side.
