    Vietnamese Rice Paper Shrimp Rolls

    Growing up, my mother used to make these for me. Being the picky eater that I was, I always had the simplified version because I did not like bean sprouts, mint leaves, and any additional greens! As an adult, I’m still not a fan of bean sprouts soooooo if you’re looking for the super duper traditional version of these shrimp rolls then sorry, this is not it!

    The other day, I was absolutely craving these and like I mentioned earlier, I’m pretty picky so going to a Vietnamese restaurant for a roll means I’d be sitting there picking out the bean sprouts (since my partner likes it, there’s no point in ordering them without).

    One of the reasons I love this recipe is that other than boiling water, there isn’t any cooking involved. It’s a great way to get some greens in too without really thinking about it as it’s wrapped inside. The shrimp is a great source of vitamin B12 and protein too. Healthy and easy!

    If you have a little dinner party, you can also set up “stations” and have your guest do a fun little DIY rice paper shrimp rolls!

    This recipe is super simple. Most of what you need is pictured up above. Curious about that butter? I ran out of olive oil (yes, can you believe it?!) so I melted some butter to keep the noodles from sticking together after they’ve been cooked.

    Vietnamese Rice Paper Shrimp Rolls with OceanPrime

    For this recipe, I used OceanPrime’s uncooked white shrimp. OceanPrime is Canadian company and they have been working with SeaChoice to ensure that their seafood is caught in a sustainable manner. Sustainable seafood are fish or shellfish caught or farmed in ways that consider the long-term viability of harvested populations. Overfishing in the fishing industry is a huge problem that even despite Canada’s strict regulations, we unfortunately take part in it. However, knowing that OceanPrime is not only Canadian but is high in quality while being caught in a sustainable manner makes them a trusted brand in my books and is something I’ll be keeping in mind while browsing seafood at the grocery store.

    The shrimp comes deveined with makes my life so much easier as I don’t have to waste time sitting in my kitchen with a toothpick, picking out the sand vein. A bonus is that with their deveining process, it makes peeling the shrimp a breeze as pictured above.

    Having the cut there from the deveining process is really helpful for this recipe too as you need to cut the shrimp in half. The pre-cut line there is a great guideline of where to cut! You can see below how the shrimp looks once cut in half.

    Step by Step on How To Roll The Vietnamese Rice Paper Shrimp Rolls

    Below is a little step by step photo instructions to show you how I wrap my rolls. I find it easier to roll if the noodles are pre-rolled into the lettuce (step 3), this keeps everything in place!

    Total Time: 20 mins
    Servings: 15 rolls

    Ingredients

    Rice Paper Shrimp Rolls

    • 15 sheets of round rice paper, 22cm/8.5"
    • 55 small shrimp, cooked (3 shrimps per roll, two bags of shrimp from OceanPrime)
    • 1 pack of dried vermicelli noodles
    • 15 portioned lettuce leaves

    Peanut Sauce

    • ½ cup smooth peanut butter
    • 1 tbsp sugar
    • 4 tbsp hoisin sauce
    • 1 tbsp soy sauce
    • 2 small garlic cloves, minced
    • 2 tbsp lime juice

    Instructions

    • Cook the shrimp and noodles (I cooked it by placing them in boiled water)
    • Get a large bowl and fill with warm water. Place your rice paper into the water to soak until they're soft.
    • Place three shrimps, a leaf of lettuce, and your noodles onto your rice paper and roll them up as pictured above (sides first then roll in from the bottom).
    • For the dipping sauce, start with 2 tbsp of water and add in all the peanut sauce ingredients. As you mix, add additional water until the consistency is just a bit thicker than ketchup.

    Notes

    Avoid iceberg lettuce as the leaves are stiffer and more difficult to roll

      I love making rice paper rolls. Once you do it a few times, they aren’t as intimidating as they appear. I usually add a few slices of avocado to give them that creamy texture.

      Always a classic recipe! I’m with you – I love the fact that there’s no real cooking involved in making these (unless you count boiling water). Glad to see that the company you’re working with has sustainability in mind. Shrimp is so good, but so environmentally problematic. It’s a relief to see more and more companies working with sustainability in mind!

      I haven’t had these shrimp rolls in a few years but I now crave them after reading your post and seeing your photos! I loooove the idea of doing stations so that guests could create their own. What a perfect way to customize the shrimp rolls and have everyone try different flavours and textures. Also – lol at butter :) That made me laugh :)

      I can’t wait to make these — our whole family really enjoys Asian so I know these rolls would be a huge hit. We normally have a family fish fry in the summer so the rolls would fit right in. The problem is, I’d have to make quite a few.

      This is one of my fav dishes to enjoy for lunch during the hotter months! We set up little stations like you mentioned, but for the kids and they have a blast! Love the step by step folding instructions, I could have used that when I started making these years ago and they always ended up looking so messy :)
