Ingredients
  

1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon soy sauce

1 teaspoon freshly grated ginger

2 cloves garlic, finely minced

1 cup carrots, thinly sliced

1 cup cucumber, julienned

1 cup red bell pepper, thinly sliced

1 cup fresh cilantro leaves

8 rice paper wrappers

Sweet chili sauce (for dipping)

Fresh mint leaves (optional, for an extra burst of flavor)

Instructions
 

Marinate the Shrimp: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the peeled and deveined shrimp with sesame oil, soy sauce, grated ginger, and minced garlic. Toss well to ensure the shrimp are evenly coated. Cover the bowl and let it marinate in the refrigerator for at least 15 minutes to absorb all the delicious flavors.

    Cook the Shrimp: Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the marinated shrimp to the skillet, cooking them for 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are pink and opaque. Be careful not to overcook them. Once cooked, remove the skillet from heat and let the shrimp cool slightly on a plate.

      Prepare the Vegetables: While the shrimp are cooling, wash and slice the carrots, cucumber, and red bell pepper into thin strips. Arrange these colorful veggies on a cutting board or plate, ready for assembly.

        Soak the Rice Paper: Take a shallow dish or large plate and fill it with warm water. One at a time, dip a rice paper wrapper in the water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable. Carefully remove it from the water and lay it flat on a clean surface or cutting board.

          Assemble the Spring Rolls: On the lower third of the soaked rice paper, place 2-3 shrimp. Add a small handful of sliced carrots, a few pieces of cucumber, and some red bell pepper strips. Finish off with a sprinkle of fresh cilantro leaves and mint, if you desire. Be sure not to overcrowd the filling.

            Roll It Up: Start by folding the bottom of the rice paper over the filling. Then, fold in the sides and roll tightly towards the top of the wrapper to encase the filling. Repeat this process for the remaining wrappers and shrimp mixture until all are rolled.

              Serve: Arrange the finished spring rolls on a serving platter. Serve them immediately with a side of sweet chili sauce for dipping. Fresh spring rolls are best enjoyed right away for maximum flavor and texture!
