- Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add the shrimp and cook for 2-3 minutes until pink and opaque. Remove from the water and let cool.
- Prepare the rice vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
- Fill a large bowl with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for a few seconds until it softens. Place the wrapper on a clean, damp kitchen towel.
- In the center of the wrapper, layer a small handful of lettuce, mint, cilantro, bean sprouts, and carrots. Top with a small amount of rice vermicelli noodles and 2 shrimp. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.
- Fold the sides of the wrapper over the filling, then roll it up tightly, similar to a burrito. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling ingredients.
- To make the peanut dipping sauce, whisk together the peanut butter, hoisin sauce, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame oil, and garlic in a small bowl. Gradually add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency.
- Serve the fresh rolls with the peanut dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
