Fresh mint and basil give a flavor burst to these light and refreshing summer rolls.

- 8–24 pieces of shrimp, depending on size
- Thai Peanut Sauce (for dipping) optional but recommended*
Instructions
- Fill a very large bowl with warm water.
- Place all ingredients out on a plate or tray for easy access. I also like to have a plate for rolling and a plate for finished rolls.
- Take one rice wrapper and soak it in the warm water for a few seconds until it becomes floppy. Try to avoid it from folding over onto itself.
- Place the wrapper flat on the designated plate.
