Instructions

1
Pour boiling water over the rice noodles, let stand for 3–5 minutes, then drain and rinse under cold water.
2
In a small bowl, mix the peanut butter, soy sauce, ginger, lime juice and honey. Gradually add warm water until you get a smooth, creamy sauce.
3
Pour lukewarm water into a shallow bowl. Dip a sheet of rice paper in the water for 5–10 seconds to soften it slightly (but not too much), and place it on a damp cutting board.
4
On the bottom third of the paper, place a piece of lettuce, a bit of noodles, and sliced vegetables (carrot, cucumber, bell pepper) along with fresh herbs.
5
In the middle of the paper (above the vegetables), place three shrimp tails with the back side facing down – this way they will be visible through the paper once rolled.
6
Fold the bottom edge of the paper over the filling, then fold in the side edges and roll everything up tightly to the end. Repeat with the remaining sheets.
7
Serve the rolls immediately, cut in half or whole, together with the prepared peanut sauce.

Nutritional benefits

Thanks to the high content of quality protein and omega-3 fatty acids from the shrimp, this meal supports heart health and tissue regeneration, while also providing plenty of antioxidants from the fresh vegetables.
