Ingredients
Sauce
- 1 red bell pepper, chopped
- 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 1 tbsp peeled and minced ginger
- 1 tbsp fish sauce
- 2 tsp sesame oil
- 2 cloves garlic, peeled
- 1 tsp red pepper flakes
- 1/4 tsp monk fruit sweetener (TRY: NOW Real Food Organic Liquid Monk Fruit)
- 2 tbsp fresh lime juice
- 2 tsp arrowroot starch
Rolls
- 12 rice paper wrappers
- 1 lb medium frozen cooked shrimp, thawed, tails removed and sliced in half
- ½ cup each fresh cilantro and mint leaves
- 1 head butter lettuce
- 1 carrot, cut into matchsticks
- ½ English cucumber, cut into matchsticks
Preparation
- Prepare sauce: To a small saucepan, add bell pepper, vinegar, ginger, fish sauce, sesame oil, garlic, pepper flakes, monk fruit and 1 cup water. Bring to a simmer on low for 10 minutes. Remove from heat. Using an immersion blender, blend sauce until smooth. In a separate bowl, whisk together lime juice and arrowroot. Whisk the arrowroot- lime mixture into sauce and bring to a simmer for 1 minute. Set aside to cool.
- Assemble rolls: Fill a shallow bowl with warm water. Soak 1 rice paper wrapper in water until softened and pliable, about 30 seconds. Spread wrappers on a clean tea towel. Along the bottom third of the wrapper, place about 4 shrimp halves. Top with cilantro and mint leaves. Top with 1 lettuce leaf and a few pieces each of carrot and cucumber. Fold sides over and tightly roll up. Place on tray, seam side down; cover with damp towel. Repeat with remaining ingredients to make 12 rolls. Cut each roll diagonally in half. Serve with dipping sauce.
