Shrimp Spring Rolls with Peanut Sauce

These spring rolls are easy, delicious, and oh so delicious...(did I say they were delicious).  While most of the ingredients are a bit obscure and costly at first...they last forever.  Just think about all the amazing spring rolls you can make!!!  It's giving me chills!  They are also so stinking fresh and healthy.  Well they have veggies and peanuts, so that constitutes a health food right ;)

16 shrimp (31-40 count)
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 rice paper sheets
2 cups shredded lettuce
1/4 c chopped cilantro
1/4 c shredded carrots
salt and pepper to taste

Heat olive oil in skillet and add shrimp.  Season with salt and pepper until the shrimp is cooked all the way through.  Remove from heat.

In a bowl of warm water add one sheet of rice paper.  Wait about 30 seconds until the rice paper is workable.  Place rice paper on a cutting board and evenly stretched out.  Place 1/2 cup shredded lettuce, 1 tablespoon cilantro, and 1 tablespoon shredded carrots. Roll up the spring roll like a burrito folding over the top, closing in both sides, and then rolling completely over (that made total sense in my head, but I'm not sure how well it translated over...just roll the spring roll up so the goodness in the middle does not fall out).

Now for the peanut sauce...

2 tablespoons Creamy Peanut Butter
1/2 teaspoon diced fresh Ginger Root (can substitute ground Ginger if you have it on hand)
1 1/2 tablespoons Rice Vinegar
2 teaspoons Sugar
1 heaping tablespoons Hoisin Sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons Soy Sauce
1/2 teaspoons Sesame Seed Oil
1 pinches Red Pepper Flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons Water
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts

Add all ingredients up to the chopped peanuts together.  The sauce will thicken as it stands.  Sprinkle the peanuts on the top.  Dip your spring rolls into the sauce and partake of the goodness!!!
