Time 55m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 18

1 ½ cups lightly packed fresh parsley
¼ cup olive oil
¼ cup rice vinegar
4 cloves garlic, minced, or more to taste
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper
1 head romaine lettuce, shredded
¾ cup coarsely shredded carrot
½ cup fresh cilantro leaves
½ cup fresh mint leaves
2 green onions, thinly sliced
1 ounce rice vermicelli noodles
10 rice paper sheets
10 sprigs fresh Italian parsley
10 cooked peeled and deveined shrimp, halved lengthwise
1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce, or to taste
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper, or to taste

Steps:

  • Pulse parsley, oil, rice vinegar, garlic, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper in a food processor or blender until chopped but not pureed. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Stir lettuce, carrot, cilantro, mint, and green onions into chimichurri sauce. Let stand, stirring occasionally, 15 to 30 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, bring a saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add rice noodles. Cook until just tender, about 3 minutes; drain. Rinse with cold water; drain again. Snip noodles into small pieces.
  • Pour some warm water into a pie plate. For each spring roll, carefully dip 1 rice paper into the water and transfer to a dinner plate. Let stand several seconds to soften. Put 1 parsley sprig and 2 shrimp halves just below the center of the paper; top with about 1/3 cup vegetable mixture and some of the rice noodles. Tightly roll up rice paper from the bottom, tucking in the sides as you roll.
  • Serve spring rolls with soy sauce and sprinkle with remaining crushed red pepper.
