Step 2

Fill a large bowl with room temperature water. Add rice vermicelli and soak for 1 hour.
Step 3

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Drop in shrimp and cook until curled and pink, about 1 minute. Remove the shrimp and drain. Slice each shrimp in half lengthwise. Transfer rice vermicelli noodles to the pot of boiling water and cook for 1 minute. Remove and drain in a colander. Immediately rinse the vermicelli with cold water, stirring to separate the noodles.
Step 4

To assemble the rolls, dip 1 rice wrapper in a large bowl of room temperature water for a few seconds to soften. Place wrapper on a work surface and top with 4 shrimp halves, 1/4 of the chopped lettuce, 1/2 ounce vermicelli, and 1/4 each of the mint, cilantro, and Thai basil. Fold right and left edges of the wrapper over the ends of the filling and roll up the spring roll. Repeat with remaining wrappers and ingredients. Cut each roll in half and serve with dipping sauce.

These were very good!! I added thin sliced grilled pork meat because that's my favorite combination but of course you can just put shrimp by itself. the dipping sauce is not quite the same as the one in my favorite Vietnamese restaurant but it is good. My advice is to adjust the herbs to your preference don't use something you don't like because their flavor will come up quite clear in your palate (not subtle like when they are cooked into something).

The dipping sauce was not very good in the opinion of my family. There was too much vinegar which over-powered the other flavors. I had to add lots more sugar. Read More

Awesome!!! My husband and are no cooks but these turned out to taste like restaurant quality!! We used boiled shrimp from the store and added bean sprouts as well. We also used regular basil (I could not find Thai basil at the store). The video was very helpful as well. Read More

I served this to friends and we all loved it. So much that the last one got eaten at 8am for breakfast as we were going away and couldnt stand the thought of wasting it! I subbed oyster sauce for fish sauce, and scallops for shrimp, that's what I had on hand. YUM. Also made it again with matchstick carrots and diced red pepper instead of the shrimp, very good. Very versatile recipe. Read More

I used a peanut sauce instead of the dipping sauce with this recipe but overall I didn't think the spring rolls had much flavor. From an eye appeal perspective I thought they needed a little bit of color. If I make these again I'll add some grated carrot maybe some very thinly-sliced red bell pepper and most likely more mint. But these are all personal taste preferences. Read More

Very refreshing and the dipping sauce is tasty! Although I might cut down the amount of fish sauce next time a tad too salty for me Read More
