crowd pleaser summer rolls

i’ve been making some version of this recipe for years and years now, and honestly it’s really easy to prepare and looks a lot more complex than it actually is (which is 1 of the reasons why it’s such a crowd pleaser). although these are called summer rolls, you can enjoy them in any season and modify the ingredients based on what’s local and fresh for you. when i made these for my family recently we paired it with grilled teriyaki halibut & vegetable sesame soba noodles, but really anything works :)

recipe: makes 10 summer rolls

• 10 rice paper sheets 

• 15 shrimp, boiled & sliced (can also substitute with baked tofu!)

• 2 heirloom carrots, thinly sliced 

• ½ an avocado, sliced 

• bibb lettuce 

• chopped scallions & mint 

*substitute with any vegetables like peppers, cucumbers, napa cabbage… 

*before assembling the summer rolls, soak rice paper sheet in room temperature water until softened 

peanut sauce: 

• ½ cup peanut butter (can also substitute with almond or cashew butter)

• 2-3 tablespoons tamari / soy sauce / coconut aminos 

• 2 tablespoons maple syrup

• big squeeze of lime juice 

• 1 teaspoon sriracha 

• water to thin

garnish the whole thing with toasted sesame seeds and herbs & enjoy :)
