90 Calorie Shrimp Summer Rolls

Ingrediente

I dont know how to make a lot of Vietnamese food, but I absolutely love it every time I had it eating out. The flavors are fresh, it feels light yet filling, and its so good.I had some spring and summer rolls a few weeks ago and wanted to make them more at home.

These are super light, fresh, crunchy, and ridiculously satisfying. Just 90 calories each (without sauce) but so much better with just a teaspoon or so of the peanut sauce below.

If you are prioritizing protein, as always, you can double up on the protein

Here is how I made them:

Ingredients (Makes 10–12 Rolls)

3/4 lb wild shrimp, boiled or precooked (then cut in half)

Rice paper sheets (35 cals each, grab them at any Asian grocery near you or online)

Lettuce leaves (I used gem lettuce)

2 thinly Shredded carrots

1/2 cup thinly cut red cabbage

4 Scallions, thinly sliced lengthwise

Large handful of fresh mint + lemon basil or regular basil

1 thinly sliced jalapeño

1 large avocado thinly sliced

The rolls:

1.Dip rice paper in warm water (just quick dunk!).

2.Add lettuce, then your veggies and herbs, leaving space on the edges

3.Fold bottom of rice paper up, pull tight and tuck it in.

4.Add a couple jalapeño slices, 2-3 shrimp cut in half, and 2-3 thin avocado slices

5.Fold in the sides, then roll tight, mini burrito-style.

6.Repeat until you are satisfied. This makes about a dozen rolls depending on how much you fill them up.

Optional Peanut Sauce (but lets be honest, its the best part)

2 tbsp crunchy PB

1 tbsp gochujang

1 ½ tbsp soy sauce

1 tbsp maple syrup

1–2 tbsp hot sauce

1/4–1/3 cup water to thin

Save this for an easy meal prep, lighter lunch, or snack to have in the fridge anytime.

And if you make them, let me know on SHREDHAPPENS. ENJOY!
