Mango Shrimp Rice Paper Bites
Mango, mint and cucumber bring a fresh contrast to cooked shrimp inside rice-paper rolls. They suit a lunch or snack where there is time to lay out the filling before softening wrappers. Keep each bundle slim and the wrapper work gentle. Mix the lime-soy dip separately so the filling does not become wet before the rolls are closed.
