Summer is the perfect time to enjoy light, refreshing dishes that are both delicious and healthy. Mango and Shrimp Summer Rolls with Spicy Dipping Sauce are an excellent choice for a summer appetizer or light meal. These rolls combine the sweetness of ripe mango with the savory flavor of shrimp, all wrapped in rice paper with fresh herbs and vegetables.
Ingredients Needed
- 8 rice paper wrappers
- 1 cup cooked shrimp, sliced in half lengthwise
- 1 ripe mango, thinly sliced
- 1 cup shredded lettuce or mixed greens
- 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
- 1/2 cup fresh cilantro
- 1/2 cup shredded carrots
- For the spicy dipping sauce:
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 2 tablespoons sriracha
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- 1 teaspoon rice vinegar
Preparing the Rolls
Start by soaking one rice paper wrapper in warm water for about 10-15 seconds until it becomes soft and pliable. Lay it flat on a clean surface. Place a few mint leaves, cilantro, shredded lettuce, a few slices of mango, and shrimp on the lower third of the wrapper. Add a sprinkle of shredded carrots for extra color and crunch. Fold the sides inward, then roll tightly from the bottom to the top, sealing the ingredients inside.
Repeat the process with the remaining rice paper wrappers and ingredients. Keep the prepared rolls covered with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.
Making the Spicy Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, combine hoisin sauce, sriracha, lime juice, and rice vinegar. Mix well until smooth. Adjust the spiciness by adding more sriracha if desired. Serve the sauce in small bowls alongside the summer rolls for dipping.
Serving Suggestions
Arrange the mango and shrimp summer rolls on a platter with the spicy dipping sauce on the side. They can be garnished with additional fresh herbs or lime wedges for extra flavor. These rolls are perfect for summer parties, picnics, or a light lunch. They are also easily customizable with different vegetables or proteins.
