Yield 8 spring rolls, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

2 ounces rice vermicelli
8 rice paper sheets (8.5 inch diameter)
8 large cooked shrimp, peeled, deveined and cut in half
1 1/3 tablespoons chopped fresh Thai basil
3 tablespoons chopped fresh mint leaves
3 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

1/4 cup water
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice

Steps:

Fold uncovered sides inward, then tightly roll up the wrapper, beginning at the end with the lettuce. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
