Ingredients
  

For the Lime Peanut Dipping Sauce
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin-style sauce can substitute with low-sugar alternative
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • Juice of half a lime lime
  • 6 tablespoons hot water as needed to thin
For the Rice Paper Rolls
  • 12 pieces rice paper rounds
  • 24 large cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 large ripe avocado, cut into thin strips
  • 1 cup ripe mango, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups shredded carrots
  • 3 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 24 leaves fresh basil leaves
  • 24 leaves fresh mint leaves
  • to taste lime wedges for serving

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, hoisin-style sauce, chili garlic sauce, grated ginger, and lime juice. Slowly whisk in hot water until the sauce becomes smooth and pourable. Set aside.
  2. Arrange the shrimp, avocado, mango, carrots, cabbage, and fresh herbs on a clean work surface so everything is easy to reach.
Rolling the Rice Paper
  1. Fill a shallow dish with hot tap water. Dip one rice paper round into the water for about 10–15 seconds, just until pliable. Lay it flat on a cutting board or plate.
  2. Near the lower third of the wrapper, layer: 2 shrimp, a few avocado slices, a few mango slices, about 1/4 cup shredded carrots, about 1/4 cup shredded red cabbage, a small pinch of cilantro, 2 basil leaves, and 2 mint leaves. Finish with a light squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  3. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to form a neat roll.
  4. Continue with the remaining rice paper and fillings.
Serving
  1. Serve right away with the lime peanut dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

Best eaten fresh. Rice paper can become soft if stored for too long. For meal prep, prepare fillings and sauce ahead of time and assemble fresh when ready to eat. Store sauce separately in a jar for up to 4–5 days.
