Summer Rolls

These Summer Rolls were yummy and fresh.  We got the recipe from Jason's book: "Weber's time to grill".  I guess they are similar to spring rolls.


Ingredients:
Summer Rolls:
15 fresh shrimp
3 Tbsp Sriracha sauce
8 large round rice paper wrappers
1 cucumber, cut into very thin julienne strips
1 carrot, cut into very thin julienne strips
2 radishes, cut into very thin julienne strips
2 green onions, cut into very thin julienne strips
2 cups roughly chopped lettuce leaves
3 Tbsp chopped fresh mint leaves
3 Tbsp chopped fresh cilantro leaves

Sauce:
1/2 cup lime juice
2 Tbsp sugar
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp minces lemongrass
1 tsp ginger
1 garlic clove, minced

1.  Cook shrimp in a pan until red.  Set aside to cool. After cooled, cut into smaller pieces.
2.  To assemble rolls, place one rice paper wrapper in hot water for 30 seconds.  Take out the wrapper and dry with a paper towel.  Place a few pieces of shrimp in a horizontal line just below the center of the wrap.
3.  Top the shrimp with the veggies, lettuce, mint, and cilantro.  Fold the bottom of the wrapper over the filling and then fold in the sides; roll up tightly.  Repeat with the remaining wrappers and fillings.  Rolls may be covered and refrigerated for several hours at this point.
4.  In a small bowl combine the sauce ingredients.  Serve rolls with sauce.
