Ingredients
  

Lime Peanut Dipping Sauce
  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoons hoisin-style sauce
  • 2 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
  • 1 teaspoon fresh ginger, finely grated
  • Juice of 1/2 lime juice of 1/2 lime
  • 6 tablespoons hot water, as needed to thin
Rice Paper Rolls
  • 12 pieces rice paper rounds
  • 24 large shrimp cooked, peeled, and deveined
  • 1 large ripe avocado, cut into thin strips
  • 1 cup ripe mango, thinly sliced
  • 3 cups shredded carrots
  • 3 cups shredded red cabbage
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves
  • 24 pieces fresh basil leaves
  • 24 pieces fresh mint leaves
  • lime wedges, for serving

Method
 

Preparation of Dipping Sauce
  1. In a medium bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, hoisin-style sauce, chili garlic sauce, grated ginger, and lime juice. Slowly whisk in hot water until the sauce becomes smooth and pourable. Set aside.
Preparation of Filling
  1. Arrange the shrimp, avocado, mango, carrots, cabbage, and fresh herbs on a clean work surface so everything is easy to reach.
Assembling the Rolls
  1. Fill a shallow dish with hot tap water. Dip one rice paper round into the water for about 10–15 seconds, just until pliable. Lay it flat on a cutting board or plate.
  2. Near the lower third of the wrapper, layer: 2 shrimp, a few avocado slices, a few mango slices, about 1/4 cup shredded carrots, about 1/4 cup shredded red cabbage, a small pinch of cilantro, 2 basil leaves, 2 mint leaves. Finish with a light squeeze of fresh lime juice.
  3. Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly to form a neat roll.
  4. Continue with the remaining rice paper and fillings.
  5. Serve right away with the lime peanut dipping sauce on the side.

Notes

Store rolls in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Keep the dipping sauce in a separate sealed jar in the fridge for up to 5 days. Best consumed fresh. For a very low-calorie meal, serve two rolls with a large green salad.
