Summer Shrimp Rolls

By wrapping the savory ingredients into lettuce leaves instead of egg roll wrappers, the carb count remains moderate. In summer, the fresh lettuce rolls make a refreshing light meal.

Ingredients

Serves: Prep: 9min
Cook: 6min
Total: 15min

3 ounces asian-style rice noodles
1 pound large peeled, cooked frozen shrimp, tails removed
12 large green leaf lettuce leaves
1/4 ounce fresh mint or basil leaves
2 medium carrots, grated
1/3 cup bottled peanut dipping sauce

Directions

1. Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a medium saucepan. Submerge the noodles and turn off the heat. Let the noodles soften for 3 minutes, then drain in a strainer over a large bowl, saving the hot water. Submerge the shrimp in the hot water for 3 minutes to thaw. Drain. 2. Meanwhile, rinse, dry, and stack the lettuce and mint or basil leaves on a plate. Put the carrots, noodles, and shrimp in separate dishes. 3. Lay 1 large lettuce leaf on one hand. Top with noodles and carrots, 2 mint or basil leaves, and 3 or 4 shrimp. Roll the leaf around the contents to make a cylinder. Repeat with the remaining lettuce leaves. Serve with peanut sauce in individual bowls for dipping.
