    Light and Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls with Dipping Sauce

    by Patti Estep · Jun 9, 2017

    Jump to Recipe

    This recipe for fresh shrimp spring rolls and the side dipping sauce is healthy, light, and can be adapted to suit your flavor palette.

    Shrimp spring roll appetizers with dipping sauce.

    Fresh Shrimp Spring Rolls

    These fresh shrimp spring rolls are super easy to make. Ok, the wrapping part takes a little practice, but not really a big deal. The package of wrappers is enormous anyway, so if you throw away a few, you'll still have plenty left for the recipe.

    As you can see mine are not perfect, but I thought they were mighty tasty.

    Fresh shrimp spring roll and dipping sauce ingredients.

     For my spring rolls, I used small shrimp, rice noodles, cucumber, red pepper, carrots, jalapenos and cilantro.

    Variations for Shrimp Spring Rolls

    • Skip the shrimp and make them vegetarian
    • You can use all kinds of veggies for this recipe like celery, scallions, red cabbage or lettuce leaves
    • Skip the noodles and make them low carb.
    • Trade in the cilantro for parsley or mint, basil leaves.

    As I mentioned, it took a couple of tries to get the wrapping right.

    You need to soak the wrappers in lukewarm water. Soak one at a time for about 20-30 seconds. They will still be pretty firm at this stage. If you wait until they are too soft you won't be able to work with them.

    Place the wrapper on a dish, and then place your ingredients in the bottom third part area. Leave some of the wrapper at the bottom and sides for rolling as shown above.

    Fold over top and then sides of wrapper on shrimp spring roll.

    Then lift the wrapper up and over the entire filling.

    Next, fold up each side. The sides should stick to the first fold.

    Finish by rolling the whole thing forward.

    You can play around with the placement of the ingredients for easier wrapping. You may also want to try different placement for what you ultimately see when they are finished.

    Finally, spring rolls would not be complete without a dipping sauce. (recipe below) This one is a combination of Asian flavors I like, but of course, you can change it up. You could even buy a dipping sauce.

    Fresh shrimp spring rolls make a pretty appetizer to share with your friends and family. They are so healthy and light.

    They are not only for parties and would make a great lunch or a light dinner on a hot summer night.

      OH yum! Shrimp and summer compliment perfectly. I was a fisherman's daughter and as an adult have a much better appreciation for seafood now that I don't have instant access to it on a daily basis. The things we take for granted... Shrimp is one of my favorites and this recipe looks like perfection. Thank you!
