This is hands down my favorite hand held food. Great for walk around parties with finger foods. No frying, so waistline friendly to boot. I use jumbo U8 wild caught shrimp which are 2 oz per shrimp, hence only one shrimp cut lengthwise. If you use smaller shrimp, you can add more pieces – just be careful not to overstuff the roll, or the wrapper will break. You can substitute any veggies you like, such as English cucumber, or for a more decadent roll, add some thinly sliced avocado. Once you get the rice paper wet enough to work with, work quickly. Make sure you have all of your ingredients ready before starting the wrapping process. Use leftover peanut sauce to top noodles or lettuce wraps.
Blend all peanut sauce ingredients with a hand blender until smooth, reserving water and scallions
Slowly add enough water while blending to thin to desired consistency, then adjust seasonings to taste as needed
Stir in chopped scallions and serve
These can be made a day ahead. They will hold together better if you give them at least a few minutes to rest before serving.
