Salad Rolls - Recipe

Salad Rolls ... serves 8 or ... make as many as you'd like!

1 (80z.) pkg. vermicelli noodles
8oz. shrimp, cooked, peeled, cut in 1\2
8 rice wrappers (6.5" diameter) - these are found in the dry goods section at T&T ... they come in a round disc-like package
1 carrot, shredded
1 cup shredded lettuce
1\4 cup shopped basil
1\2 cup hoisin sauce (we used a spicy peanut sauce instead)
**I added chopped mint as well ... this added a nice freshness

1. In a medium saucepan bring water to boil. Remove from heat. Add vermicelli noodles. Soak 3-5mins. Drain and rinse.
2. Fill large bowl with hot water. Dip one rice paper into hot water for 1sec. to soften. Lay flat and pat dry. Add noodles, shrimp, carrot, lettuce, basil and mint in center.
Roll the edges of the wrapper slightly inward. Beginning at the bottom edge of the wrapper, tightly wrap the ingredients. Repeat.
3. In a small bowl, mix hoisin sauce with water. Heat in microwave.
4. Serve with warm dipping sauce.
