This recipe is going in my Perfection Cookbook. The flavor of the ingredients in the shrimp roll and the sauce made this the best tasting shrimp roll I've ever had. I would not change a thing, except my poor rolling skills, which will certainly improve as I plan to make this recipe often. I've never made rolls with rice paper before, and I think I need to put them in the hot water one at a time - particularly since I'm not very fast yet. They seemed to tear easier when they'd been in the water a while. Thanks so much for posting this fabulous recipe.

I live in the San Francisco area and love it here. I discovered Recipezaar (then Food.com..Genius Kitchen) in 2001 and have been so happy to have my favorite recipes stored safely here. I am mother to 7 and grandmother to 7.
I love to knit, smock, sew, etc., but my favorite hobby of the moment is traditional rug hooking. This is a sample of what I do.? It's called "November".? I dyed most of the wool myself. It is made from wool flannel, cut into strips a little less than 1/4" and then worked into a linen backing. This is my 3rd rug.
