Ingredients

Directions

  1. Fill a pie plate with warm water.
  2. Dip a rice paper wrapper into the water just until moistened; it will still be firm but will soften as you assemble.
  3. Transfer the softened rice paper to a clean, damp work surface.
  4. Place shrimp halves across the lower third of the rice paper.
  5. Top the shrimp with 1/4 cup of arugula mixture.
  6. Fold the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling.
  7. Fold in the left and right sides.
  8. Roll up the roll tightly to seal.
  9. Repeat with remaining rice papers, shrimp, and arugula mixture.
  10. Serve immediately with Creamy Orange Dipping Sauce.

Note

Rice paper can become brittle if left out too long or too sticky if soaked too long. Work quickly and keep a damp towel nearby to cover unrolled wrappers.

For the Creamy Orange Dipping Sauce, blend orange juice, zest, a touch of honey, and a creamy base like yogurt or mayo until smooth.

These rolls can be prepared ahead of time. Wrap them individually in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Allow them to come to room temperature before serving for the best texture.

Substitute shrimp with tofu slices or chicken strips for a different protein option.

If the arugula is too peppery, mix it with mild spinach or lettuce leaves for a softer flavor profile.
