Steps

  1. Boil the shrimp for 2 minutes until pink and just cooked through, then slice each in half lengthwise.

  2. Cook the vermicelli per package directions, drain, and rinse with cold water.

  3. Fill a wide shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper for about 10 seconds until pliable.

  4. Lay the softened wrapper flat and place lettuce, noodles, herbs, and 2 shrimp halves near the bottom edge.

  5. Fold the sides in and roll tightly from the bottom like a burrito. Repeat with remaining wrappers.

  6. Stir together hoisin, peanut butter, water, and crushed peanuts for the dipping sauce.

  7. Serve the rolls whole or sliced in half with the dipping sauce.

Food safety Cook shrimp until opaque and pink throughout before assembling.
