Yield Serves 4 as an appetizer

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/4 cup fish sauce (nam pla)
2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onion
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
Pinch of dried crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
2 teaspoons minced fresh ginger
16 uncooked medium shrimp, peeled, deveined, halved lengthwise
1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro
4 cups hot water
8 6-inch-diameter Vietnamese spring-roll sheets
4 small Bibb lettuce leaves, halved
1/2 cup thin strips green onions
1/2 cup thin strips seeded peeled cucumber
4 teaspoons minced fresh mint leaves

Steps:

  • Mix first 4 ingredients in small bowl. Set dipping sauce aside.
  • Heat oil in medium skillet over medium-high heat. Add ginger; sauté until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add shrimp and cilantro; sauté until shrimp are just cooked through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Pour hot water into large bowl. Using tongs, dip 1 spring-roll sheet in water 5 seconds. Remove from water; place on wet towel. Let stand 30 seconds (spring-roll sheet should be soft and pliable; if still stiff, sprinkle with more water).
  • Place half of lettuce leaf across top third of spring-roll sheet. Arrange 4 shrimp halves on lettuce. Top with 1 tablespoon each of green onions and cucumber. Sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon mint over filling. Fold sides of spring-roll sheet over ends of filling. Starting at filled side, roll into cylinder. Place on plate. Repeat with remaining spring-roll sheets, lettuce, shrimp, green onions, cucumber and mint. Serve with sauce.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my spring rolls didn't turn out as good as I hoped. I think I might have overcooked the shrimp.

I had some trouble rolling the spring rolls, but they still tasted great. I think I just need more practice.

These spring rolls were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still liked them. I'll definitely make them again, but I'll use less chili sauce.

I'm not a fan of shrimp, but I still really enjoyed these spring rolls. The vegetables were so fresh and flavorful.

I've made these spring rolls several times now and they always turn out great. The shrimp is cooked perfectly and the vegetables are crisp.
