Rice paper spring rolls with shrimp and vegetables

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make rice paper spring rolls with shrimp and vegetables? Prepare all the necessary products. Which shrimp is better to use? It will be convenient to wrap royal or tiger prawns in a roll, but you can also take ordinary ones. Pick up the vegetables as well to your taste. I used carrots, cucumber, red onion, lettuce leaves and cherry tomatoes.

2. Step 2:

   

   Remove the shrimp from the freezer beforehand and leave at room temperature until completely thawed. If there is no time to wait, I usually pour the shrimp with cool water and leave it this way for 15-30 minutes. Clean the clams from the shells, remove the heads and tails. There is a dark hollow vein on the back of each shrimp, it also needs to be removed. Blot the peeled shrimp with paper napkins to get rid of excess liquid.

3. Step 3:

   

   Heat refined vegetable oil in a frying pan. Add the pre-peeled two cloves of garlic, leave on high heat for a few seconds until the cloves acquire a slightly golden hue. The oil is saturated with garlic aromas, you can proceed to the next step.

4. Step 4:

   

   Send the shrimp in garlic oil, fry on one side until half cooked.

5. Step 5:

   

   Then flip and leave until cooked. Be guided by the fact that the clams will turn red and curl into rings. If the shrimps are overexposed in a frying pan, they will turn out to be tough and "rubber".

6. Step 6:

   

   Prepare the vegetables. Peel the onions and carrots, rinse everything under running cold water. In the recipe, I used red onion to make the finished roll look more contrasting and colorful. You can take shallots, white salad onions or young green. These varieties of onions are softer and will perfectly fit into the vegetable filling of the roll.

7. Step 7:

   

   Grate carrots on a grater for Korean salads. Cut the cucumber and onion into thin feathers, and cherry tomatoes into thin plates.

8. Step 8:

   

   Dip a sheet of rice paper in cold water for a few seconds. When it becomes soft, carefully lay it out on a flat surface of the desktop.

9. Step 9:

   

   Spread three shrimp in the middle of the sheet.

11. Step 10:

    

    Next, make a layer with lettuce leaves.

12. Step 11:

    

    Put some carrots, add cucumber and onion.

13. Step 12:

    

    Then cherry tomatoes.

14. Step 13:

    

    Make an overlap on the filling from the bottom, wrap the edges on the sides, as in the photo.

15. Step 14:

    

    And then form a roll. Simply put, rolls are rolled up according to the principle of stuffed cabbage rolls or stuffed pancakes.

16. Step 15:

    

    Roll up the rest of the rolls this way. Before serving, sprinkle them with sesame seeds if desired. Done, you can serve!

17. Step 16:

    

    I sometimes fry the finished spring rolls in the remaining garlic oil for a few seconds on both sides.

18. Step 17:

    

    It also turns out very interesting and delicious!
