    • 1

      Soak rice noodles in very hot tap water for 15 minutes, until soft. Rinse with cold water and drain.

    • 2

      Meanwhile, add peanut butter, sesame oil, soy sauce, vinegar, water, ginger and crushed red pepper into a bowl and mix well. Add more water if you’d like a thinner sauce. Set aside.

    • 3

      Add hot water to a shallow baking dish. Drop a rice wrapper into the water for 30 to 45 seconds until the wrapper is soft and malleable. Take it out and place on a clean work surface.

    • 4

      Place 3 shrimp halves, cut side up, along the lower third of the wrapper. Add a 1/4 cup of the rice noodles, then sprinkle the scallions on top. Proceed to layer with the carrots, cucumbers, 2 mint leaves, 2 basil leaves, 2 sprigs of cilantro and 1 quarter of red lettuce leaf.

    • 5

      Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling, then tuck the sides of the wrapper in towards the middle (like you would a burrito). Proceed to roll up to the top.

    • 6

      Serve rolls, seam side down and cut in half, with the peanut sauce on the side.
