VIETNAMESE SALAD ROLLS WITH SHRIMP AND PEANUT DIPPING SAUCE

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat and add shrimp. Cook for 5 minutes. Remove and run it under cold water to cool down. Once cool enough to handle, slice in half.
• Prepare the vermicelli noodles: Bring a pot of water to a boil over high heat and add vermicelli noodles. Cook for 2 minutes until soft. Transfer the noodles to a bowl with a strainer to completely drain out any water.
• Fill a large shallow bowl with warm water, about 1 to 2 inches high. Take one wrapper at a time and quickly dip it into the warm water for one second, or according to package directions. Shake off excess water. The wrapper will start to soften and feel a bit sticky. Transfer the wrapper onto a clean dry flat surface.
• Place 2 tablespoons of vermicelli noodles in the center of the wrapper into a log shape, leaving 2 inches of space on each side. Place 3 pieces of shrimp, pink side down, on a row above the noodles. Add 2 tablespoons of shredded carrots in a row underneath. Place 1 tablespoon of cilantro, 1/2 tablespoon basil and 1/2 tablespoon mint on top of the shrimp.
• From the bottom, roll the wrapper up tightly but gently so that you don't tear it. Roll it up halfway over top of the noodles. Then fold over the left and right sides inward. Then continue to tightly roll the wrapper to seal the mixture inside. If the wrapper doesn't feel soft and pliable, apply some water to your fingers and to the wrapper to help it soften.
• Combine hoisin sauce, peanut butter, water, lime juice, and honey. Stir well with a spoon until smooth and uniform. Sprinkle some chopped roasted peanuts on top.

SALAD ROLLS

Steps:

• Place rice noodles in a large pot of boiling water, stir. Add shrimp. Cook until noodles are al dente and shrimp is just cooked, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes. Lift out the shrimp, set aside to cool. Drain and rinse noodles.
• When shrimp is cool enough to handle, cut into small pieces. Place in a non-reactive salad bowl with noodles, carrots, cabbage, basil and cilantro. Toss to combine.
• To prepare rice paper wrappers: Fill a large pan or bowl with hot tap water. Dip 1 rice paper wrapper into water, lift out, and drain briefly. Set on a flat surface.
• To assemble salad rolls: Place 1/2 cup filling in the center of each wrapper. To roll salad rolls, think diapering a baby the old fashioned way - with cloth diapers minus the diaper pins! Pressing down on filling, fold the bottom of each wrapper over filling, then fold in sides; roll tightly. Press edges to seal; if rice paper is too dry to form a proper seal, moisten unsealed edges with a little water. Set rolls on a platter and cover with a damp towel.
• To serve, cut rolls crosswise in 1/2; stand pieces upright. Dip in Ginger Lime Dipping Sauce.
• Whisk together all ingredients in small non-reactive bowl. Taste and adjust seasonings.

SHRIMP-SALAD ROLLS

Steps:

• Rinse shrimp under cold running water, and pat dry. Heat butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add shrimp; season with salt and pepper. Cook shrimp until bright pink and opaque, about 2 minutes per side. Add lemon juice; remove from heat.
• Let shrimp cool. Cut into 1/2-inch pieces. In a large bowl, combine shrimp, mayonnaise, and scallion; toss to coat. Season shrimp salad with salt, pepper, and lemon juice, if desired. Chill.
• Split open the rolls. Gently press a lettuce leaf into each roll, and fill with a heaping teaspoon of shrimp salad. Serve.

SHRIMP SALAD ROLLS

Steps:

• Cook half of shrimp in a 5- to 6-quart pot of generously salted (2 tablespoons) boiling water, stirring occasionally, until shrimp are just cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a platter and return water to a boil. Cook remaining shrimp in same manner (then discard water), transferring to platter. When shrimp are cool enough to handle, peel, then chill, covered, until completely cold, about 1 hour.
• Whisk together mayonnaise, lemon juice, tarragon, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and chill until ready to use.
• Devein shrimp and cut into 1/2-inch pieces. Season with salt and pepper, then add to dressing along with celery, and toss to combine. Serve salad in rolls.
