Keto Vietnamese Spring Rolls (Gỏi cuốn)

Ingredients

• 1 lb Shrimp
• 16 wrappers Rice Paper Wrappers
• 8 leaves Lettuce
• 1 medium Carrots
• 1 medium Cucumber
• 1/4 cup Mint Leaves
• 1/4 cup Cilantro
• 1 medium Avocado
• 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
• 1 tablespoon Swerve Sweetener
• 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar
• 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil
• 1 clove Garlic
• 1 tablespoon Water

Instructions

1. 1Place the 1 lb Shrimp in a medium saucepan with enough water to cover. Bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce heat to medium and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until the shrimp are pink and opaque. Drain the shrimp, let them cool completely on a plate, then slice each shrimp in half lengthwise. This cooling step is important so they don't cook the wrapper.
2. 2Prepare the vegetables: julienne the 1 medium Carrots and the 1 medium Cucumber into thin matchsticks. Slice the 1 medium Avocado thinly. Measure out the 1/4 cup Mint Leaves and the 1/4 cup Cilantro.
3. 3Make the dipping sauce: In a small bowl, combine the 2 tablespoons Soy Sauce, 1 tablespoon Swerve Sweetener, 1 tablespoon Rice Vinegar, 1 teaspoon Sesame Oil, 1 clove Garlic (minced), and 1 tablespoon Water. Stir until the sweetener is dissolved.
4. 4Prepare the rice paper wrappers: Fill a shallow dish or pie plate with warm water. Dip one of the 16 Rice Paper Wrappers into the warm water for about 15-30 seconds, or until it is pliable but not mushy. Carefully lift it out, letting excess water drip off.
5. 5Assemble the rolls: Lay the softened rice paper wrapper flat on a clean, damp surface. Arrange about 1/2 leaf of Lettuce near the bottom edge. Place 2-3 halves of the cooked Shrimp on top of the lettuce, followed by a small amount of julienned Carrots, Cucumber, and a few slices of Avocado. Top with a sprinkle of Mint Leaves and Cilantro.
6. 6Fold and roll: Fold the bottom edge of the wrapper up over the filling. Fold in the left and right sides of the wrapper towards the center. Then, starting from the bottom, tightly roll the wrapper upwards to enclose the filling completely. Repeat steps 4-6 with the remaining wrappers and filling.
7. 7Serve immediately with the prepared dipping sauce.
