Instructions

Prepare the shrimp:

  • Make sure the shrimp are thawed, peeled and deveined.
  • Pat the shrimp dry using a paper towel. Season with a pinch of salt.
  • Grab a medium-sized sauté pan and place it over medium heat.
  • Add the oil. Once the oil is hot, add minced garlic.

  • Once the oil is hot, add one piece of rice paper at a time to the hot oil.
  • It should immediately puff up. If it doesn’t immediately puff up, then the oil isn’t hot enough.
  • Repeat until all rice chips are fried. Place them on a paper towel to absorb any excess oil.

Prep and cut all the vegetables and herbs:

  • Julienne cucumbers, julienne carrots, julienne red cabbage, chop the green onions, slice the avocado, remove stems from the fresh herbs. Cut lime into wedges.
