Prepare rice vermicelli according to package instructions until tender; drain and set aside.

Fill a shallow dish with warm water; dip one rice paper wrapper in the water until softened, about 10-15 seconds.

Lay the softened wrapper on a clean surface; place a few shrimp, a small handful of vermicelli, lettuce, mint, cilantro, carrots, and cucumber in the center.

Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top to enclose the filling.

Repeat the process with remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.

Serve the spring rolls with hoisin-peanut dipping sauce for dipping.
