Spring rolls with shrimps
√Super easy √Delicious with crunchy shrimps √Filled with fresh vegetables √Vietnamese spring rolls √Summer rolls
Ingredients
- 5 sheets rice paper
- 10 large raw prawns peeled and poopshoot removed
- 3 tbsp flour
- 3 tbsp panko or other breadcrumbs
- 3 tbsp dried coconut not sweetened
- 1 egg
- 1 lime zest
- sunflower oil for frying the prawns
Spring roll filling
- 2 carrots finely sliced into strips
- 1/2 cucumber finely sliced into long strips
- 1 red chili finely sliced
- 1/2 bunch Thai basil
- 1 spring onions finely sliced into thin strips
Instructions
- Prepare all your vegetables and slice them as evenly and as thinly as you can.
- Mix panko, coconut, lime zest and place into a small bowl.
- Once all your vegetables are cut and ready to go, prepare your prawns. Clean them and make three little bowls ready; one with flour, one with the combined panko and coconut and lime and one with the egg, loosely beaten.
- Dip your prawns into the flour first, then the egg and lastly with the coconut mix.
- Heat a layer of sunflower oil in a wok or frying pan and in batches cook your prawns until golden brown. Leave to drain on kitchen paper.
- Once cooled, cut them into smaller chunks to include into the rice paper.
- Prepare a wide bowl (I always use one of our silicon tart cases... perfect size!) for dipping your rice paper in, with lukewarm water. Not to warm, not too cold.
- Dip each sheet into the water for a few seconds. It will still be slightly stiff when you take it out and put it on your kitchen counter but once it's been there it will soften quickly so work fast.
- Put your vegetables neatly in the middle and top with some prawns and start wrapping the rolls.
- Make a nice dipping sauce for dipping your rolls in and enjoy!
