Thai Shrimp Rolls

These are easier to roll if you put the lettuce down first, but when you get the knack of rolling them, try putting 2 shrimp against where they will show when rolled up--most attractive for serving to guests!

Fantastic Shrimp Rolls!!!

Delightful. Instead of using the sauce for dipping, I tossed the shrimp and noodles with it so that once rolled together each roll was already seasoned. Used Thai basil instead of regular basil. Lovely presentation and delicious. Thank you Sharlene W for sharing the recipe.

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.
