Best 5 Fresh Spring Rolls With Shrimp For Two Recipes

SEARED GARLICKY SHRIMP FRESH SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• For the vegetables: Bring a medium saucepan of water to a boil. Blanch the sugar snap peas in the boiling water for 2 to 3 minutes. Drain and shock in ice water. Slice on the diagonal into thin strips. Set aside.
• Grill or broil the corn with some sesame oil and a touch of miso, and then slice the kernels off the cob. Set aside.
• For the garlicky shrimp filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring, until they start to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 3 minutes. Stir in the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring often, until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the shrimp and soy sauce and cook, stirring often, until the shrimp curl and become opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a medium serving bowl and set aside to cool. (Refrigerate if you're not using the filling within 30 minutes.)
• For the fresh spring rolls: Dip a wrapper in a large shallow bowl of warm water for 10 seconds. Remove from the water and lay it flat on a dampened cutting board. Place 1 tablespoon of the shrimp filling on the bottom edge of the wrapper. Slightly spread it out horizontally to cover the lower third of the wrapper. Make sure to leave a 1-inch border at the edge of the wrapper and sprinkle with some of the vegetables, as desired, taking care not to overstuff. Sprinkle with some of the basil, cilantro, sesame seeds, scallions and hot sauce, to taste. Fold the sides over the filling and then fold the bottom up and over the filling, rolling the roll tightly. Place it seam-side down and cut in half diagonally. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings. Serve with the Citrus Ponzu Sauce and Spicy Miso Dip, for dipping.

SHRIMP SPRING ROLLS

Steps:

• Score the shrimp on the underside in three equally spaced horizontal cuts. Press firmly on the shrimp to straighten.
• In a soup pot, combine 4 cups water, the wine, bay leaf, lime juice and salt and bring to a simmer. Turn off the heat, add in the shrimp and cover until the shrimp are pink, about 4 minutes. Scoop out the shrimp and shock in ice water to stop the cooking. Then drain and dry. Reserve the poaching liquid, keeping it hot but not simmering.
• Add the vermicelli to the hot poaching liquid (no need to simmer or boil the water because that may over cook the noodles). Cook until just al dente, about 8 minutes. Drain.
• Toss the carrots, cucumbers and red bell peppers with the rice wine vinegar and soy sauce.
• Dip each rice paper wrapper in warm water, one at a time, for a second (no longer or they will get too soft). The wrapper should still feel somewhat hard when you first start working with it. By the time you finish getting all of your fillings in, the wrapper will have continued to soften. Layer the first one with 2 shrimp, a basil leaf, jalapeno slice, some vermicelli and vegetables. Gently wrap like a tiny burrito and cut on the sharp bias. Serve with Peanut Dipping Sauce.
• Add the peanut oil to a small saute pan over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook for 1 minute, and then turn off the heat. Then add the peanut butter, hoisin, sambel olek and 3 tablespoons water and mix together. You may need to add a little extra water if the mixture is too thick. Garnish with the chopped peanuts.
