Cambodian Spring rolls with Spicy peanut Hoisin Sauce

These spring rolls are amazing, they are fresh and healthy! You can use frozen shrimp but I would recommend getting fresh. If you dont like shrimp feel free to sub chicken or pork too!

If you live in Ottawa there is a wonderful Fish market on Merivale in Nepean. Great stuff!

Ingredients 

12 large Shrimp raw
6 rice paper rolls
2 cups Rice vermicelli noodles (really fine ones)
1 cup lettuce chopped
1 Cucumber Julienne style skin left on
1 carrot grated
basil leaves

Boiling water to soften rice papers

Sauce 
1 Tbsp Peanut butter Mixed with 1-2 Tbsp hot water
2 Tbsp Hoisin Sauce
splash of Sriracha
1 Tbsp smashed Peanuts


Ok for this Recipe I made 6 Spring rolls and bought 12 extra large raw spring which ran about $11.00. the rest of the ingredients are very cheap, so buy good shrimp.

First I cooked the Shrimp in Olive oil with Salt, Pepper, paprika & Garlic Powder. About 5 minutes set aside... let cool. remove tails

Than cook your Vermicelli  noodles about 2 minutes in boiling water, drain them quick and run them through cold water to stop the cooking, if you have a salad spinner give them a spin and spread them on a plate to dry out a little.

Chop up vegetables so they are ready for wrapping.

Pour boiling water in a dish big enough for the rice papers to lay in. Dip the rice paper in and turn over till it is easy to move around. Place it on counter and add lettuce, Cucumber, carrot noodles, Basil than place two shrimp in front of the rest of the ingredients (in that order )..

Wrap forward once than fold sides in, than wrap till tight. you don't want it too tight or it will break, and too loose it will fall apart. It might take a few tries to get right so have a few extra rice paper rolls handy! Roll it Like a Burrito :D

to make the sauce add Peanut butter to dish, add hot water stir . Add hoisin mix well add peanuts & sriracha for desired heat.


Enjoy :D
