How to Make Shrimp Rolls
Prepare all of the ingredients.
Take rice paper and soak in warm water for 10-15 seconds or until it starts to soften. After place it on the cooking surface. Add noodles, carrots, lettuce, green onion and cilantro to the center of the rice paper.
Take the bottom of the wrapper and fold it up over the filling. Fold in the sides toward the center and start rolling it once, then add 3 pieces of shrimp on top and roll from the bottom to the top until it closes. Repeat with the rest. Serve with the sauce. Enjoy!

Notes
Tips for Perfect Spring Rolls:
Don’t overstuff your spring rolls! Too much filling can cause them to tear or fall apart, so keep it just right for easy rolling and frying.
Peanut butter matters. Regular commercial peanut butter works best for that creamy, balanced flavor. If you’re using natural peanut butter, adding a little honey or maple syrup can help sweeten it up nicely.
Swap your protein. Not a shrimp fan? No worries! Chicken, pork, or fried tofu all make great substitutions—and keep things interesting.
Noodles or no noodles? The noodles add a bit of heartiness, but feel free to skip them if you prefer a lighter roll.
Veggie boost! You can replace noodles with extra fresh veggies like crunchy cucumber or bell peppers to keep things fresh and colorful.
Herb tweak. Not into cilantro? Fresh mint is a fantastic alternative that brightens up the flavors.
Give these tips a try next time you make spring rolls—they’ll help you get the perfect balance of flavor, texture, and ease every time!
