A tiny learning curve on the rice paper wraps, but definitely worth it. Super yum.
Ingredients : Rolls
•6 rice paper wrappers
•12 oz cooked shrimp, peeled & deveined - cut in half lengthwise
•1 English cucumber - cut into matchsticks
•1 carrot - cut into matchsticks
•1 avacado - peeled, pitted and sliced
•1/2 mango, peeled, pitted and cut into matchsticks (I used a peach)
•1/2 chopped cilantro
•1/4 chives - 1 inch pieces
•4 TB Rosemary Apricot Zubrowka Deliciousness
•1 TB Sriracha - I used Jojo's
Step one: Put your ego aside and know that if you haven't done this before, they aren't going to turn out perfect. But they will be delicious.
Step two: Mix the sauce up. Just mix the two ingredients together.
Step three: Heat up water to a boil and pour into what ever you have that is shallow and wide enough to soak the rice paper so that is completely submersed and flat. Wait until the rice paper is pliable and then move it to another surface where you will build the roll. Moving it without ripping it is tricky at first. Don't give up, keep trying. You are a champion. Once you successfully move the rice paper now arrange 3 shrimp across the middle of the wrapper, top with your veggie matchsticks, the avacado, the mango (or peach), the cilantro and the chives. Now comes the 2nd hardest part..rolling that little honey. Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then fold in the sides and then roll as tightly as you can like a mini burrito.
Boom. Good job.
Now...dip and eat. Your body with thank you for this one.
