Preparation
- Preheat oven to 425 grades Fahrenheit. Line up a baking pan with foil and place shrimps in a single layer. Drizzle with olive oil, toss in scallions, and seasoned with garlic powder, paprika and ground black pepper. Roast only for 15 minutes because shrimps are already cooked. Remove from oven and set aside.
2. Bring water to a boil. Turn off the heat. Place rice noodles to cook for 5 to 6 minutes. Drain and set aside.
3. Line up all your ingredients:
4. Clear off a cutting board. Place a rice paper round in a big flat container with warm water. Soak it for 30 seconds or until rice paper is soft. Cover rest of round rice paper with a damp paper kitchen towel.
5. Place 2 or 3 leaves of fresh mint on the center of the rice round paper, 1 1/2 to 2 inches away from each edge side. Top with shredded coleslaw. Place lettuce leaves with 2 or 3 roasted shrimps on top. Pile up with cucumber slices.
6. Bring the edge of rice round paper over filling and tuck underneath. Continue to roll and fold in the sides like when making a burrito.
7. Repeat same procedure with rest of rolls. Serve with dipping sauce. Fresh, healthy, simple and delicious. Enjoy!
Note: Keep fresh and soft with a wet kitchen towel on top.
