Quick and easy! I used chicken instead of shrimp and it still turned out delicious! Will make again.
Chicken sounds like a good swap! I might try that next time. Good to know it still tastes great!
I don’t think chicken would be as good as shrimp. Shrimp gives it that special flavor! But whatever works for you.
These are amazing! I made them for a party, and everyone loved them. Super fresh and crunchy!
I’m so glad to hear that! They really are a crowd-pleaser. Did you serve them with any special sauce?
I don’t get it. The rice paper just falls apart! Maybe I did something wrong? Feels like a waste of shrimp. 😕
Made these for my party and everyone loved em! Can’t believe how simple they were.
Sounds delicious! I’m gonna try this for my next gathering too. Thanks for sharing!
This is a good recipe, but I think it needs more sauce. Maybe a peanut sauce would work?
How do ya even eat these things? They fall apart like paper, haha! Not for me.
I had a lot of trouble rolling these. They kept falling apart!
I’ve had the same issue! Sometimes the rice papers tear easily if they’re in the water too long. Maybe try just dipping them quickly?
Really enjoyed these! One question, can I use lettuce wraps instead of rice paper?
Absolutely, lettuce wraps would work great! Just make sure they’re sturdy, so they don’t tear. Enjoy!
I don’t think that’ll taste the same. Rice paper has a unique texture. You should stick to it!
Wow, these are so colorful! Great for summer. I add chicken instead of shrimp though.
These are amazing! So fresh and tasty! Will make again!
I totally agree! These rolls are so refreshing, especially with that dipping sauce! Yum!🍤
Do you really need to soak the paper? I just slapped everything on dry and rolled it haha!
Um, I used fake shrimp. How bad is that? Still tasted good.
Rice paper rolls? More like rice paper fails. Total messy disaster. 0/5.
