Instructions

• Prep the Veggies: Shred the cabbage and carrots, and slice the peppers. For the cucumbers, remove the watery centers before slicing into sticks. Keep avocado in its skin until serving to prevent browning.
• Make the Sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, garlic, lime, water, sesame oil, and sesame seeds until smooth.
• Cook Protein & Noodles: Boil the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions (they cook fast!). Boil the shrimp until pink and opaque, then set aside to cool.
• Assemble: Dip a sheet of rice paper in cold water for a few seconds. Lay it flat and layer your noodles, veggies, and herbs in the center. Top with shrimp.
• Roll: Fold the sides in and roll tightly from the bottom up. Serve immediately with the peanut sauce.
