Steps:
- For the island salsa: Combine mango, pineapple, strawberries, onion, jalapeno and lime juice in a bowl. Set aside.
- For the shrimp: Prepare shrimp seasoning by combining salt, pepper and garlic powder in a bowl.
- Prepare shrimp by sprinkling them on both sides with shrimp seasoning. Heat vegetable oil in large saute pan on medium to medium-high heat. Once oil is hot and sizzling, place shrimp in pan and cook until translucent on one side, approximately 1 1/2 minutes. Flip, then cook on other side until sides are curled up and translucent, 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Remove shrimp from pan, cut into chunks and set aside.
- Place a whole-wheat tortilla shell on a flat surface, then place a small amount of each ingredient on top: spring lettuce mix, diced tomatoes, cooked shrimp chunks and island salsa. Spread along the bottom of the tortilla shell, making sure not to overfill. Take sides of tortilla shell and fold in towards center so the filling can still be seen. Bring up the bottom flap and continue to roll upward while tucking sides as rolled to the top, making sure to roll tightly to keep wrap together. Cut in a diagonal. Repeat with remaining ingredients.

- Stir together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
- Make rolls:
- Add shrimp to a 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water then reduce heat and poach shrimp at a bare simmer, uncovered, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then return shrimp cooking water to a boil. Chill shrimp in ice water 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Cut each shrimp in half lengthwise, deveining if necessary.
- Add noodles to boiling water and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander, then rinse under cold running water and drain well. Stir together vinegar, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved, then add noodles and toss to coat.

- Arrange 3 shrimp halves (cut sides up) in a row across bottom third (part nearest you) of soaked rice paper. Spread 1/4 cup noodles on top of shrimp and arrange 3 cilantro leaves, 3 mint leaves, 8 cucumber matchsticks, 6 scallion strips, and 10 mango matchsticks horizontally on top of noodles. Fold bottom of rice paper over filling and begin rolling up tightly, stopping at halfway point. Arrange 3 more mint leaves and 3 more cilantro leaves along crease, then fold in ends and continue rolling. Transfer summer roll, seam side down, to a plate and cover with dampened paper towels.

Tips:
- For the best results, use large, ripe mangoes. They should be slightly soft to the touch, with a deep yellow or orange color.
- If you don't have a grill, you can cook the shrimp in a skillet over medium heat. Just be sure to watch them closely so they don't overcook.
- Feel free to experiment with different types of tortillas. Corn tortillas, wheat tortillas, and spinach tortillas are all good options.
- To make a vegetarian version of these wraps, simply omit the shrimp and add extra vegetables, such as grilled zucchini or roasted red peppers.
- Serve the wraps with your favorite dipping sauce, such as guacamole, salsa, or sour cream.
