I decided I could manage.   <br /><br />The spring rolls themselves can be filled with anything.  I prepared a traditional shrimp spring roll with carrots, red pepper, rice noodles and basil (I swapped the cilantro for basil - not a cilantro fan) wrapped in rice paper.<br /><br />Shrimp Spring Roll Recipe<br />8 rolls <br /><br /><br /><br />1/2 package of rice noodles<br />8 rice paper wrappers<br />1 red pepper<br />24 medium cooked shrimp (1 pound of 24 count shrimp)<br />1 cup of carrots, julienned<br />8 fresh basil leaves<br /><a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/02/peanut-dipping-sauce-recipe-recipes.html">Peanut Sauce Recipe>></a><br /><br />Begin by boiling water in a sauce pan. When the water boils, pour half of the water into a shallow bowl that is large enough to soak the rice paper wrapper.  Cook the noodles in the sauce pan with boiling water for 2-3 minutes.  Remove them from water and place them in a bowl.<br /><br />Soak the rice paper in the shallow bowl filled with hot water for 20 seconds.  Remove it from the water and place it between two layers of a clean kitchen towel to make it sticky.  Peal the paper away from the towel, being careful not to tear it.   <br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif47vFfujDMYtSzVSw6E-0XnaqDM2u6JZjS_iRKbNuNXmfwEND0-tJprAn40xBZCeT3ypfywkVkyBLnT4VlLVnE-akrPF7fCpnRJl75UuWwrWU9T9d2Hdb5lcMhz5eTizJEubfnNaF_ySP/s1600/IMG_6217.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEif47vFfujDMYtSzVSw6E-0XnaqDM2u6JZjS_iRKbNuNXmfwEND0-tJprAn40xBZCeT3ypfywkVkyBLnT4VlLVnE-akrPF7fCpnRJl75UuWwrWU9T9d2Hdb5lcMhz5eTizJEubfnNaF_ySP/s320/IMG_6217.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Place the paper on your work surface.  Start by lining 3 of the shrimp up in the center.  Add carrots, peppers and basil. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5SNUSV5EWbGA6wlLiCGNA3w9h_epYuCsbEFysMrZ0xBtUHC1J9fbygwZLYwJY3UP1jTLbRCwZWnWUy9vjCHMaiGOaLnBlzi4Rt3ly-G04TMkzHdIPdHta365rezXq3ZZYy3l29NPHxTaY/s1600/IMG_6220.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5SNUSV5EWbGA6wlLiCGNA3w9h_epYuCsbEFysMrZ0xBtUHC1J9fbygwZLYwJY3UP1jTLbRCwZWnWUy9vjCHMaiGOaLnBlzi4Rt3ly-G04TMkzHdIPdHta365rezXq3ZZYy3l29NPHxTaY/s320/IMG_6220.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Top with some of the cooked noodles. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkdaVAIBomsaW1T2gIwysTPDMF2MF8MpKvUQ4D9gZhyphenhyphen8wLgKtMLPzmwFAN7X3FZBMvfKlhw6FHK_UdkgGec-4bvcEDAjs-MNp01ukqG3cTKpSMi4j2gFryhtJss6l5oqKZYlQ7xBbR-VOq/s1600/IMG_6221.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkdaVAIBomsaW1T2gIwysTPDMF2MF8MpKvUQ4D9gZhyphenhyphen8wLgKtMLPzmwFAN7X3FZBMvfKlhw6FHK_UdkgGec-4bvcEDAjs-MNp01ukqG3cTKpSMi4j2gFryhtJss6l5oqKZYlQ7xBbR-VOq/s320/IMG_6221.JPG" width="320" /></a></div> Fold in the sides, and roll it together snugly. <br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDdWrgvWPjVuqzgLCYolfCoPEGyTe41xf-pjpQYqvNtZMvE-cpMii3aZ70nzFstcSc6n-0XvQAW2Ccr5DQjtf9yN-t6JP7qawNR9LKFkUPJhRC8GuViRtPAJUbYNIqe6mxdCOCBcQSCNsj/s1600/IMG_6222.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDdWrgvWPjVuqzgLCYolfCoPEGyTe41xf-pjpQYqvNtZMvE-cpMii3aZ70nzFstcSc6n-0XvQAW2Ccr5DQjtf9yN-t6JP7qawNR9LKFkUPJhRC8GuViRtPAJUbYNIqe6mxdCOCBcQSCNsj/s320/IMG_6222.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe-TNrlrC1lDner1IZXuY1h9c-_WyjJMRs7DOh7uoEBNx2Xs_tZe3PV-cD5arnk2cH8h9Ckjy1zXPjCUzExQs9XbIqo6aayDdCdNTC_dGVAM3NwOWBJGYqkbCBcj0_xrdysKRLO-y3XuMm/s1600/IMG_6281.JPG" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhe-TNrlrC1lDner1IZXuY1h9c-_WyjJMRs7DOh7uoEBNx2Xs_tZe3PV-cD5arnk2cH8h9Ckjy1zXPjCUzExQs9XbIqo6aayDdCdNTC_dGVAM3NwOWBJGYqkbCBcj0_xrdysKRLO-y3XuMm/s320/IMG_6281.JPG" width="320" /></a><br />Peanut Dipping Sauce<br /><br />This no-cook sauce takes just seconds in a food processor. <br /><br /><a href="http://jennysteffens.blogspot.com/2011/02/peanut-dipping-sauce-recipe-recipes.html">Get the Peanut Dipping Sauce Recipe >></a>
