Lumpia Udang

Instructions

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon of salt to it, along with the cleaned shrimp. Boil for 2-3 minutes, then drain the shrimp. Once cooled, slice each shrimp in half lengthwise. Set aside.
2. Fill a shallow, round dish with water. Take a rice paper sheet and submerge it completely in the water for 10 seconds, then remove it and place it flat on a clean cutting board or kitchen towel.
3. Working quickly while the rice paper is still wet, place one lettuce leaf toward the bottom of the rice paper. Place a few sliced cucumber and carrots and a few mint leaves on the lettuce.
4. Wrap the bottom edge of the rice paper over the filling (refer to the pictures above), and then place both sides over it (like a burrito). Roll it up once more and then place three pieces of sliced shrimp in the middle, side-by-side. Continue rolling the rice paper over the shrimp until the whole roll has been tightly rolled up.
5. Repeat steps 2-4 with the remaining rice paper until the rice paper and filling have been used up. Serve immediately with your chosen dipping sauce on the side.
