Ingredients

  • 16 wrappers/ 1 package (136g) “Blue Dragon” spring roll wrappers
  • 32-ounces (896g) cooked shrimp (peeled and deveined)
  • 1 medium (201g) cucumber
  • 4-ounces (112g) shredded carrots
  • 1 cup fresh cilantro (chopped)
  • Slice shrimp lengthwise into halves.
  • Cut cucumber, ensuring seeds are removed and julienne into strips.
  • Prepare the spring roll wrappers by filling a large bowl with warm water.
  • Prep rice paper wrappers according to package directions by dipping the wrapper into warm water, ensuring it is completely submerged. Let sit until pliable, and then place on a tea towel to blot.
  • Fill each wrapper with 4-ounces of shrimp, approximately 8-10 shrimp halves, cucumber, carrots, and cilantro. Begin to roll until halfway, fold in the sides, and finish rolling tightly.
  • Dip with Sriracha, chili sauce, or peanut sauce and enjoy. Macros not included.
  • You can replace shrimp with another lean protein, such as chicken breast, and add as many veggies or herbs as desired. Consider adding scallions, bean sprouts, fresh mint or basil.
  • Be careful not to add too much filling or the delicate wrappers will tear.
  • Rolls are best enjoyed the same day but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days by individually wrapping each one in plastic wrap so they don’t stick together.
