Instructions

  • Put a medium-large pot on high fire, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil. Add the shrimps and simmer for about 1 ½ minutes until the shrimps get a nice pink colour. Take out of the pot with a slotted spoon and add in a bowl filled with water and ice cubes for 5 minutes. Drain and cut each one lengthwise, cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • In the same water that the shrimps have been cooked bring the water to a boil, turn the heat off and cook the noodles for about 5 minutes and with time guidance from the package instructions. Immediately strain the noodles, add them to a bowl and pour the sesame oil. Keep aside.
  • In a deep bowl add the sugar, lime juice, rice vinegar, the fish sauce, and whisk. Add the julienned veggies and toss. Keep aside.
  • Assemble all the ingredients on your kitchen table. Start by pre-wrapping the lettuce. Open each leaf one by one and add some cilantro and 3 basil leaves, some of the julienned veggies and few noodles. Be careful not to overfill as it will be a problem to do the wrapping of the rice wrap. Wrap the lettuces and keep aside.
  • Have a large flat dish filled with room temperature water and dip with both hands, one at a time, the rice wrap moving it around to get soft, about 15 seconds. Lay on your cutting board and pat dry.
  • On the top part of the wrap place 3 mint leaves and on top of them 4 halved shrimps. Then leave some space and parallel to the shrimps add the pre-wrapped lettuce. Tag in the sides and fold over the bottom of the wrap over the filling and roll to a tight bundle. Place on a plate, the closing of the wrap facing down and cover with a damp cloth. Cover tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2-3 hours before serving.
  • 30 minutes before serving take out of the refrigerator, cut in half in a slight angle and serve with the two sauces.
