These summer rolls are the ultimate light, refreshing meal for hot days—completely no-cook, loaded with fresh herbs and crunchy vegetables, and wrapped in translucent rice paper. The peanut sauce brings it all together.
Prepare the peanut sauce: whisk peanut butter, hoisin, 2 tbsp warm water, 1 tsp sriracha, and 1 tsp lime juice until smooth.
Dip one rice paper wrapper in warm water for 5-8 seconds until pliable. Lay flat on a damp cutting board.
Arrange 4 shrimp halves in a row in the lower third. Top with a small bundle of vermicelli, carrots, cucumber, and herbs.
Fold the bottom edge over the filling, tuck in the sides, and roll tightly like a burrito.
Repeat with remaining wrappers. Serve immediately with peanut dipping sauce.
Serve over steamed jasmine or sticky rice
Pair with a side of pickled vegetables or kimchi
Add a drizzle of sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds for extra flavor
Arrange on a platter for easy sharing at your next gathering
Both make excellent protein alternatives
Nut-free or different nut options for the dipping sauce
