Shrimp and Avocado Spring Rolls

shrimp

🥗Healthier: tofu

💰Cheaper: cooked chicken

Tofu offers a plant-based alternative, while chicken is often more affordable.

avocado

🥗Healthier: mashed avocado

💰Cheaper: sliced cucumber

Mashed avocado maintains creaminess while cucumber offers a refreshing crunch.

peanut sauce

🥗Healthier: sunflower seed butter

💰Cheaper: soy sauce

Sunflower seed butter is nut-free, while soy sauce is a cost-effective dip.

Prepare the Asian slaw with green onion, red cabbage, carrot, cucumber, sesame oil, rice vinegar, salt, and pepper to taste. Optionally add slivers of jalapeno.

Get a wide bowl to soak the rice paper wrappers in lukewarm water until they are flexible but not too wet, about 10-15 seconds.

Place the soaked rice paper wrapper on a clean surface.

Layer a leaf of lettuce on the lower third of the wrapper.

Add a small amount of rice noodles on top of the lettuce.

Layer shrimp, avocado slices, mint leaves, cilantro, carrots, and cucumber on the noodles.

Sprinkle with salt and black pepper to taste.

Fold the sides of the wrapper inward over the filling.

Roll the wrapper tightly from the bottom up to enclose the filling, ensuring the avocado is on top for presentation.

Repeat the process with remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.

Serve with store-bought peanut sauce for dipping.
