Ingredients:
- 1 lb shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 12 sheets rice paper wrappers
- 4 oz dry rice vermicelli noodles
- 2 medium carrots, julienned
- 1 medium cucumber, julienned
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 3 stalks green onion, cut into 2-inch strips
- 1/2 cup peanut butter, unsweetened
- 4 tbsp warm water
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 tbsp soy sauce
- 1 tsp maple syrup
- 1 tsp sriracha
Instructions:
- Bring a small pot of water to a simmer. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn opaque and a pale pink. Immediately plunge them into an ice bath to stop the cooking process and maintain a snappy texture. Pat dry.
- Place vermicelli noodles in a bowl of boiling water for 3-5 minutes (or per package instructions). Drain and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking.
- Wash and dry the mint, cilantro, and green onions. Ensure all vegetables are sliced into thin, uniform strips.
