Shrimp Spring Roll

Directions

• Peanut Sauce
• Add garlic and canola oil to saucepan. Cook on medium heat for 4-5 minutes until light brown and fragrant.
• Add the remainder of the ingredients and simmer for 8-10 minutes until sauce thickens. Add to a mixing bowl.
• In a larger mixing bowl add ice water. Place smaller bowl of peanut sauce in the larger bowl and whisk until cold. This will help it from separating.
• Spring Rolls
• In a large pot, bring water to a boil.
• Add vermicelli to boiling water, and cook for a few minutes, according to package instructions.
• Drain and rinse with cold water.
• Gather all topping ingredients together, including chopped veggies, herbs, cooked shrimp.
• Add about 1 inch of water to a large, deep dish, or pie pan. Place one rice wrapper into the water and let soak for just 10-15 seconds. It should still feel pretty firm as you remove it and lay it on your counter or plate. *It will soften up as you add the filling ingredients, but If you let it soak for too long it will get too soft and will tear when you roll it up.*
• Layer 1-2 slices of each veggie, 2 half shrimp, a few leaves of each herb, and a pinch of noodles on the ⅓ of the spring roll that is closest to you.
• Fold the sides of the spring roll in over the ingredients. Then pull the side closest to you up and over the ingredients, sealing everything together tightly, and rolling it up like a burrito.
