    I made 10 (had a good feeling and will make them on a regular basis from now on. Weight Watcers: 1 is 1 point. Didn't stick to the exact veggie quantity and it was great.

    The mint leaves were overpowering and I couldn't taste the shrimp. I did not mind the sauce, but the texture was not good!

    Once I got the hang of making these, the process went very quickly and I wished I had prepped more ingredients so I could make more. I'm going to make them again tonight. Very fresh and delicious. I might tweak the sauce witha bit more lime and less hot sauce.

    My boyfriend and I were really bummed when our favorite Vietnamese place closed where we used to get fantastic summer rolls. This recipe reminded us of those. I added two extra halves of shrimp to each roll and when in season, I will add a slice of fresh mango too. I thought the sauce was fine, not amazing, but certainly not disgusting as other reviews have said. I suggest trying this recipe out if you have a good Asian grocery store in your neighborhood to get good quality rice rounds.

    These were really pretty and a hit with my daughter & her husband, who are confirmed meat & potatoes folks. I'm a vegan, so I used julienned carrots, julienned snow peas, mung sprouts and julienned red pepper for color. Next time (and ther ewill be another I'll use the larger rice rolls.

    Once you get the ingredients ready, and get a little practice, you can make a bunch of these pretty quickly. There are plenty of options to try too...

    1 Vegetarian: Firm tofu, sliced so you have 1/4" by 1/4" by 2" pieces. Put 2 of those in instead of the shrimp.

    2 Veggies: Radish matchsticks, or thin cucumber slices added in.

    3 Cilantro leaves instead of mint (some folks aren't keen on mint.

    Ellie, thanks! We've always loved these in restaurants, and not it's great to be able to do them at home too!

    the basil definitely helped with the vinegar sauce...wouldn't use 2 leaves though..just one or too overpowering...add some purple onion for extra goodness!!!
