Ingredients
  

10 fresh shrimp, peeled and deveined

8 rice paper wrappers

1 cup vermicelli rice noodles

1 cup mixed vegetables (carrots, cucumber, bell pepper, julienned)

1 cup fresh herbs (mint, cilantro, basil)

1 ripe avocado, sliced

1 tablespoon lime juice

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Shrimp: Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until they turn pink and opaque. Drain and set aside to cool. Once cooled, slice the shrimp in half lengthwise.

    Prepare Rice Noodles: In a separate pot, boil water and cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop cooking.

      Set Up Rolling Station: Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Lay out your rice paper wrappers and prepare your filling ingredients.

        Soften Rice Paper: Dip one rice paper wrapper into the warm water for about 5-10 seconds or until it becomes pliable but not too soft. Lay it flat on a clean surface.

          Fill the Roll: Start by placing a small amount (about 1-2 tablespoons) of vermicelli noodles onto the bottom third of the rice paper. Add a few slices of shrimp, mixed vegetables, fresh herbs, and a slice of avocado. Drizzle with lime juice and sprinkle with salt and pepper.

            Roll the Summer Roll: Starting at the bottom of the wrapper, roll it up tightly, folding in the sides as you go to secure the filling. Repeat this process with the remaining wrappers and fillings.

              Serve: Arrange the summer rolls on a platter and serve with a dipping sauce of your choice, such as a sweet chili sauce or peanut sauce.
