  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
For the Summer Rolls

For the Sauce

Instructions

For the Shrimp 
    Cup of Yum
  1. Add the shrimp, two tablespoons olive oil, lime juice, lime zest, and kosher salt to a large bowl and toss to combine.
  2. Cover and refrigerate for 15 minutes while you prepare the rest of the ingredients. 
  3. Once marinated, heat a large skillet over medium heat and add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
  4. Add the shrimp, making sure to put them all in a single layer.
  5. Cook for 2-3 minutes per side or just until the shrimp are opaque pink and c-shaped.
  6. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool. 
For the Summer Rolls 
  1. Fill a large shallow bowl with hot water. 
  2. Dip one sheet of rice paper in the hot water for 5 seconds, or just until it begins to soften. Then, place it on a clean surface. 
  3. Place 3 shrimp in the center of the rice paper. Add a piece of butter lettuce, a few sticks of carrot, a piece of cucumber, a slice of avocado, a few green onions, and two herb leaves on top. 
  4. Roll the summer rolls the same way you would a burrito - by folding the bottom over the toppings, folding the sides in, and then rolling upward to seal. 
  5. Repeat steps 2-4 with the remaining ingredients. 
  6. Serve the rolls with the sauce (below) and enjoy immediately.
  7. I do not recommend storing summer rolls for later as they will become soggy. 
For the Sauce 
  1. Stir together the ponzu, sweet chili sauce, sesame oil, and sesame seeds.
  2. Set aside until ready to serve.
