- Add water to a dish large enough for the rice wrappers to fit into, then place one wrapper into the water and let soak for a few seconds.
- On 1/3 of the rice wrapper, stack your ingredients in the following order: veggies then herbs then cooked noodles. Roll the wrapper like a burrito 2/3 of the way, then lay 2-3 pieces of shrimp in the wrapper, squeeze a little fresh lemon juice on the shrimp and finish rolling. Repeat for all rolls.
