Ingredients:

• 12 large shrimp, cooked and peeled
• 8 rice paper wrappers

Instructions:

Nutrition

This chilled shrimp salad roll recipe is both invigorating and nutritious. Here’s a breakdown of its nutritional content per roll.

What To Serve With It

I love pairing my chilled shrimp salad rolls with light, rejuvenating sides like a crisp cucumber salad or a tangy slaw, which balance out the flavors perfectly. For drinks, I usually reach for something cool and citrusy, like iced tea with lemon or a zesty limeade, to keep everything bright and summery. These combos make the meal feel complete without weighing it down.

Side Dishes

Pairing the right side dishes with chilled shrimp salad rolls can take your meal from good to great. I love using seasonal ingredients to keep things fresh and vibrant—think crisp cucumber slices in summer or roasted root veggies in fall. Balancing flavor profiles is key, so I’ll often add a tangy coleslaw or a zesty citrus salad to complement the rolls’ creamy, savory taste. A light, herby quinoa salad or a simple avocado and tomato mix also works wonders. These sides not only add variety but make the meal feel complete, without overpowering the star of the show.

Beverage Pairings

While the right side dishes can make chilled shrimp salad rolls shine, don’t forget about the drinks! I love pairing these light, fresh rolls with invigorating cocktails like a minty mojito or a citrusy gin and tonic—they complement the flavors perfectly. If you’re more into wine selections, a crisp Sauvignon Blanc or a dry Rosé works wonders with the shrimp’s sweetness. For a non-alcoholic option, sparkling water with a squeeze of lime or a tangy ginger lemonade hits the spot. Trust me, the right beverage can turn your meal into a true summer feast. Cheers to that!
