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.
