Ingredients
Shrimp Spring Rolls
- 10 jumbo shrimp 16-20 ct, peeled, deveined & thawed
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- salt and pepper
- ½ container Earthbound Farm Organic 50/50 Spinach & Spring Mix
- 1 6" piece english cucumber cut into thin strips
- 1 ea. red bell pepper de-seeded and cut into strips
- 1 container fresh mint
- 1 container fresh basil
- ½ bunch fresh cilantro rinsed and dried
- 6 rice paper wrappers
Peanut Sauce
- 1 can full fat coconut milk
- ⅓ cup peanut butter natural
- 3 tbsp soy sauce
- 3 tbsp coconut sugar
- 2 ea. garlic cloves minced fine
- 1 tbsp peanuts chopped small - optional for garnish
- 2 tsp red pepper flakes plus extra for garnish
- 1 tbsp peanuts chopped small - optional for garnish
Instructions
Shrimp Spring Rolls
- Prepare your shrimp - to a medium cast iron skillet add 1 tbsp of olive oil and heat over medium. Pat your shrimp dry and sprinkle with salt & pepper. Add to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes each side, or until the shrimp are cooked through (shrimp should be tightly wrapped). Once cool, cut in half lengthwise so you have two pieces of shrimp. Set aside.
- Setup your assembly station - Ensure you have all filling ingredients prepared and ready to go! This will make the assembly process much easier!
- Prepare your rice paper wrapper - according to package instructions. I will usually add a single sheet to a bowl of warm water and leave in for ~30 seconds, when the sheet has softened but is still slightly pliable. Do not do all 6 ahead of time, but instead, do each right before you assemble.
- Assemble Shrimp Spring Rolls - Start by adding 3 shrimp halves, seared side down, to the bottom third of a prepared rice paper wrap. Top with Earthbound Farm Organic 50/50 Spinach & Spring mix, 3-4 sticks of sliced cucumber and red bell pepper, followed by the fresh mint, cilantro, and basil. Fold like a burrito - move the bottom of the wrapper over the filling ingredients and pull towards you to wrap tightly. Fold in sides and roll again until closed.
- Serve with Peanut Sauce & enjoy!
Peanut Sauce
- Add all ingredients to a small saucepan and bring to a boil.
- Once boiling, turn down heat and let simmer for 15 minutes uncovered.
- Remove from heat and let cool. Optional: add 1-2 tbsp water to thin if you prefer a thinner consistency.
- Move to a serving bowl. Optional, garnish with chopped peanuts and extra red pepper flakes
