Mango Shrimp Summer Rolls Recipes

Steps:

• For the shrimp and mango summer rolls: Fill a large bowl with water and add ice cubes. Bring a large saucepan of salted water to a boil, add the shrimp and blanch until just cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and transfer to the bowl with ice water to stop the cooking. Let the shrimp sit in the ice bath for 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry the shrimp, slice horizontally in half and transfer to a medium bowl. Add the mangoes, lime juice, fish sauce and sambal, season with pepper and stir to combine.
• Fill a dish with hot tap water. Add a wrapper for 2 seconds only and transfer the wrapper to a lint-free towel to drain, top with a second towel and blot dry. Flip over the stack of towels and peel off the top towel. Top the wrapper with 2 to 3 Thai basil leaves and the shrimp and mango filling. Fold up the bottom and force the filling downwards to form a log. Then fold in both sides then continue rolling. Store under a damp towel to keep moist. Repeat with remaining rolls. Halve each roll on the diagonal and serve immediately.
• Make the lime dipping sauce: Mix all the ingredients in a bowl and serve with the rolls.

Steps:

• Make sauce:
• Stir together all sauce ingredients in a small bowl until sugar is dissolved.
• Make rolls:
• Add shrimp to a 4- to 5-quart pot of boiling salted water then reduce heat and poach shrimp at a bare simmer, uncovered, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer shrimp with a slotted spoon to a bowl of ice and cold water to stop cooking, then return shrimp cooking water to a boil. Chill shrimp in ice water 2 minutes, then drain and pat dry. Cut each shrimp in half lengthwise, deveining if necessary.
• Add noodles to boiling water and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain in a colander, then rinse under cold running water and drain well. Stir together vinegar, sugar, and salt in a large bowl until sugar is dissolved, then add noodles and toss to coat.
• Put a double thickness of paper towel on a work surface and fill a shallow baking pan with warm water. Check rice-paper rounds and use only those that have no holes. Soak 1 round in warm water until pliable, 30 seconds to 1 minute, then carefully transfer to paper towels.
• Arrange 3 shrimp halves (cut sides up) in a row across bottom third (part nearest you) of soaked rice paper. Spread 1/4 cup noodles on top of shrimp and arrange 3 cilantro leaves, 3 mint leaves, 8 cucumber matchsticks, 6 scallion strips, and 10 mango matchsticks horizontally on top of noodles. Fold bottom of rice paper over filling and begin rolling up tightly, stopping at halfway point. Arrange 3 more mint leaves and 3 more cilantro leaves along crease, then fold in ends and continue rolling. Transfer summer roll, seam side down, to a plate and cover with dampened paper towels. Make 7 more rolls in same manner and serve, whole or halved diagonally, with dipping sauce.

Steps:

• For the spring rolls: Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the vermicelli or rice noodles and cook according to the package directions, 2 to 3 minutes. Drain, rinse with cold water and set aside.
• For the ginger-peanut sauce: Combine the peanut butter, lime juice, maple syrup, soy sauce, ginger and red pepper flakes in a medium bowl and whisk together. Slowly add in hot water, 1 tablespoon at a time, until the desired consistency is achieved. (It should be thick but pourable.)
• To assemble the spring rolls: Pour very hot water into a shallow dish or skillet and immerse a sheet of rice paper to soften for about 10 to 15 seconds. Transfer the rice paper to a cutting board and gently spread out the edges, taking care not to tear them. On the bottom third of the wrapper, place a small handful of cooked noodles and a layer of bell pepper, cucumber, mango and a few leaves of basil and cilantro. Gently fold over once, then tuck in the edges and roll until the seam is sealed, like wrapping a burrito. (It's OK if the first one fails; it may take a few attempts to get used to rolling them up.)
• Place seam-side down on a serving platter and cover with a damp towel to keep fresh. Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling. Serve with ginger-peanut sauce.

Steps:

• For the cashew sauce: Whisk the coconut milk, cashew butter, agave nectar, lime juice, fish sauce and chili garlic sauce in a bowl with 1 tablespoon water until smooth.
• For the summer rolls: Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a small pot and add the shrimp. Cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 2 minutes. Drain well and let the shrimp cool. Slice the shrimp in half lengthwise.
• Prepare the vermicelli according to package instructions and splash with mirin. Hold the noodles in the colander to allow the mirin to drain and the vermicelli to cool.
• Meanwhile, halve, pit, peel and slice the avocado into 1/4-inch slices. Peel, pit and slice the mango into thin strips and set aside.
• Fill a large bowl with warm water. Place a spring roll wrapper in the water and soak until soft, about 2 minutes. Gently transfer the wrapper to a dry board and blot excess water with a paper towel. The paper can rip easily if it soaks too long, so be sure to remove it from the soaking water as soon as it's pliable.
• Allowing the summer roll ingredients to chill before rolling produces best results. Starting an inch from the bottom of the wrapper, place 3 Thai basil leaves face down in a row. Next, place 3 shrimp face down in a row on the basil. Place 2 slices of avocado across the shrimp, top with some vermicelli and finish with 2 mango slices. Fold in the sides of the wrapper and roll tightly. Place the roll on a tray with the Thai basil-side up and cover with a damp towel. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Serve the rolls with the cashew dipping sauce on the side.

• Have all ingredients ready for rolling the spring rolls: carrot, mango, seasoned rice noodles, shrimp, asparagus and mint leaves.
• Fill a dish or your kitchen sink with warm water. Working with 1 rice-paper wrapper at a time, soak in water for 30 seconds; immediately lay flat on a damp towel. Smooth to remove wrinkles, than fold up the bottom quarter toward the top. Working with your hands, place about two tablespoons of the rice noodles on the folded up part of the wrapper. Place a few asparagus spears, carrot, mango and shrimp on top of the noodles. Add a mint leaf slightly above the rest of the filling.
• Fold sides of the wrapper in toward the middle and roll the summer roll up, keeping the filling tightly pressed together. Tuck a few mini chives in to the side before you roll it all the way. Place roll on a plate and cover with a damp towel.
• Repeat with remaining rice-paper sheets and filling. Chill summer rolls until ready to serve. Slice summer rolls in half to show the vibrant colors inside and serve with avocado puree or peanut sauce.
