- 1 lb shrimp, shelled and deveined
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- 1 TBS chopped fresh ginger
- 1 clove garlic, finely minced
- 1 TBS low sodium soy sauce, or Bragg’s liquid aminos
- 1 tsp rice wine vinegar
- ½ tsp raw honey
- 12 rice wrappers
- ½ cup fresh basil leaves
- ½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
- 1 cup shredded red cabbage
- 1 large red bell pepper, thinly sliced
- 6 strawberries, sliced
- ¼ cup creamy all natural peanut butter (I used a slightly sea salted pb)
- ¼ cup full-fat coconut milk (from the can)
- 1 TBS rice wine vinegar
- 1 TBS low sodium soy sauce (or Aminos)
- 1⁄2 TBS lime juice
- 1⁄2 TBS raw honey
- 1 tsp sesame oil
- Heat 1 teaspoon of sesame oil over medium heat. Add the ginger and garlic, and let them cook for about 2 minutes. Add the shrimp, and cook each side for 2 to 3 minutes. The shrimp will be done when it looks orange and the shrimp has started curled inward. While the shrimp is cooking, stir the soy sauce, rice wine vinegar, and honey. Drizzle this sauce over cooked shrimp.
- Let the shrimp cool for at least 20 minutes.
- Fill a bowl with hot water. Dip a sheet of rice paper wrapper and wet it entirely. The wrapper doesn't have to be completely soft, just moist. It will continue to soften as you add more ingredients to it. Place the wrapper on a flat surface. Fill the wrapper with shrimp, a slice of strawberry, all the vegetables, 2 to 3 basil leaves, and a few cilantro leaves. Fold the lower half of the wrapper over the filling. Fold in the left and right sides toward the center. Continue rolling everything like you would a burrito. The spring rolls should seal nicely.
- In a small bowl, mix all the peanut sauce ingredients until well incorporated.
- 4. Serve immediately and refrigerate leftovers.
I’m Nicole Twyman, a native New Orleanian, who has lived all across the US! Although, my small family of 4 currently calls Los Angeles, CA home. I am a proud 40+ year old mom of a wonderfully energetic and theatrical daughter, and a handsome, scholarly athlete!
While I have worked in corporate America as a certified senior project / program / portfolio manager for Fortune 500 companies like Microsoft, Procter & Gamble & IBM, my passion is service. It has always been my desire to live a life of service to others; which I took every opportunity to explore as an active member of many of my church’s ministries and of my public service sorority, Delta Sigma Theta, Inc.
Well, now I am over the top excited to have the opportunity to serve divas through my very own ministry, Fit, Fyne & Fabulous.
