How to Make Shrimp Spring Rolls

This delicious seafood dish is easy to make! Start by preparing all the ingredients and sauces since these spring rolls are best enjoyed immediately. Chop your vegetables thinly into matchsticks. This type of cut makes it easiest to stuff the rolls! Also, prepare the rice noodles according to package instructions. Most just require you to pour boiling water over the noodles.

  • For the peanut dipping sauce, I use this bottled peanut sauce (affiliate link) and add a few of my own ingredients: chives, soy sauce and rice vinegar. You can also add some chopped cilantro and even lime juice in place of the vinegar!
  • Cooking sauce: Next, prepare the ginger garlic sauce for cooking the shrimp. This easy sauce is made with ginger, garlic, soy sauce, fish sauce, chili oil and sesame seed oil. Cook this mixture just until the garlic is soft. Add the shrimp and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, just until done.
  • Assembling the rolls: to assemble the rolls, start with sliced shrimp and top with rice noodles, vegetables, cilantro and some of the cooking sauce for even more flavor! Roll the spring rolls tightly and set onto a tray to enjoy!

What Shrimp to Use

Choosing the right shrimp can seem daunting for any seafood recipe! I highly recommend going with wild caught shrimp versus farmed shrimp. It tastes so much better, is sweeter and has better texture. I really enjoy wild-caught Argentinian red shrimp for their flavor! Fresh or frozen shrimp will both work well for this recipe. If using frozen shrimp, simply place them into a large bowl and fill it with cold water. Change the water every few minutes until the shrimp is thawed. Make sure to peel and devein the shrimp before cooking!

  • 1 cup julienne cut zucchini
  • 1 cup julienne cut red bell pepper
  • 1 cup julienne cut carrots
  • 2 tablespoons fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1 green scallion, diced
  • 2 cups prepared rice/bean noodles

For Shrimp Sauce:

  • 3 garlic cloves, finely minced
  • 3 tablespoons fresh minced ginger
  • 1 teaspoon fish sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame seed oil
  • 1 teaspoon chili oil
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce

For Peanut Dipping sauce:

  • 1/3 cup peanut sauce
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons finely minced chives
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar or lime juice
  • 1 tbsp freshly chopped cilantro

Instructions

  • First, clean and peel the shrimp and set aside in a small bowl. Prepare the dipping sauce next. Simply whisk together all required ingredients in a small bowl or measuring cup and set aside.
  • Prepare all the filling ingredients next - slice the vegetables into thin matchsticks. Also, prepare the rice noodles according to package directions. In most cases, you will need to simply drop them into hot, just boiled water until noodles are soft, about 2 minutes, then remove.
  • Combine in small bowl the fish sauce, sesame and chili oil and tamari sauce. Preheat a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic along with ½ tablespoon of cooking oil. Sauté the ginger and garlic for 2 to 3 minutes, then add the prepared fish sauce. Cook for another 2 to 3 minutes then add the shrimp. Cook shrimp 2 to 3 minutes on each side, just until it's done. Remove the shrimp from heat and toss it together with the cilantro and green onion.
  • To assemble rolls, prepare a large bowl with cold water. Dip the rice paper into the water for just a few seconds until softened. Cut the shrimp in half lengthwise and place into the center of each roll. Top with a few teaspoons of the ginger garlic cooking sauce. Top with the prepared rice noodles and desired vegetables. Feel free to add your choice of vegetables including sprouts, mushrooms, etc. Fold sides into the center then carefully roll up the spring roll and set onto serving plate. Serve with dipping sauce.
