Ingredients
  

  • Rice paper for rolling
  • 1 cup of dry rice noodles cooked according to the package directions
  • 1 large carrot thin julienne cuts
  • 3 scallions thinly sliced
  • fresh mint
  • fresh cilantro
  • 2 avocados
  • ½ pound fresh shrimp cooked and sliced
  • Butter lettuce

For the sauce:

  • ¼ cup hoisin
  • 2 tablespoons peanut butter
  • 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoons chili garlic sauce
  • ½ teaspoon sesame oil

Instructions
 

For the Avocado Shrimp Spring Rolls

  • Soak one spring roll paper at a time, for about 30-45 seconds in a shallow bowl of water. Once fully soaked, place the spring roll paper onto a clean cutting board. They should be pliable when you take them out of the water and then become soft once they are on the cutting board. If they don't quite get flexible enough to roll, dip them in some more water.
  • Place the fillings in the bottom third of the wrapper. I used about 2 tablespoons of the rice noodles, a few cuts of carrots, 1 teaspoon sliced scallions, a pinch of fresh mint and basil, 2 avocado slices, 2 pieces of shrimp and a piece of butter lettuce per roll.
  • Fold the wrapped over the filling and start rolling everything into a roll. About halfway through the roll, stop and fold in the sides. Then continue to finish rolling until you have a tight roll. Transfer the finished roll to a clean plate and drape with a damp towel while you assemble and roll the remaining spring rolls.
  • Once all of the spring rolls are assembled, serve immediately.

For the sauce:

  • Combine all of the ingredients into a medium bowl and whisk together. Taste and add more soy sauce if you want it a bit saltier. Set the sauce aside until ready to serve.

Notes

You can get really creative with how you assemble your filling since you can see it through the wrapper.

  1. These are gorgeous Gaby! I make lumpia (Filipino egg rolls) all the time but I've only made fresh shrimp spring rolls one time. And mine didn't have avocado, I must try this one. ASAP.

  2. I've made these before and I have to say that my family loved them! I just haven't tried adding avocado :/ Thank you for sharing your wonderful recipes!

  3. Thank you!!! I LOVE spring rolls but never made them; there are only 2 of us, but I suppose I can cut down the recipe; also an issue for me is a dipping sauce..... There's one at Whole Foods I buy....may need to do that!

  4. I have never made spring rolls before as they always seemed too daunting. You make it seem pretty easy and they look delicious, so I will have to add this to the list of things to try very soon!

  5. What, I'm not the only one who doesn't like my nail in food pics because it's chip city? lol. Now you have me asking myself why I haven't made spring rolls. Time to bust out the wrapper. These look to fab and fresh to miss!

  6. Spring rolls are the BEST!! Love that yours have shrimp and avocado in them! Total yumm-o! 🙂

    1. Thanks for pointing that out Amy! The link to the "roll" technique was broken! It's fixed now. And I used the round rice paper wrappers from Whole Foods. You can find them in just about any store in the international aisle
