  • Method: Stovetop
  • Cuisine: American

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 ounces vermicelli rice noodles
  • 1 head baby butter lettuce
  • 8 ounces pre-cooked shrimp, tails removed (I use frozen pre-cooked, then just thaw)
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and julienned (or store-bought shredded carrots)
  • 1 English cucumber, sliced very thin (preferably using a mandoline) 
  • 1 avocado, sliced
  • for finishing: basil, mint, crushed peanuts, lime wedges, sriracha

Peanut Sauce Ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 2 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1" knob of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 1 tablespoon brown sugar
  • water to thin, as needed

Instructions

  1. Prepare the rice noodles per package directions.
  2. Meanwhile, make the peanut sauce: add all ingredients to a wide mouth jar or food prep container and mix with a stick blender until smooth and creamy (see notes). Slowly stream in water until it reaches a pourable consistency. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the peanut sauce to the cooked noodles and toss. 
  3. To assemble the wraps: layer noodles, shrimp, carrots, cucumber and avocado on individual lettuce leaves then drizzle more peanut sauce over the top. Finish with fresh torn herbs, crushed peanuts, sriracha, and a squeeze of lime juice.

Equipment

Notes

  • The ingredients and equipment section may provide affiliate links to things I use often in my kitchen and love.
  • I love using a stick blender for sauces because it doesn't matter how big or small of a batch you make. You can also use a regular blender or food processor here but I would recommend doubling to make sure the blender really "grabs" the sauce and fully incorporates all of the ingredients. The stick blender I use and love is linked.
