Spring Rolls

This fresh spring roll uses jicama slices in place of the traditional rice wrapper, making it low carb. The jicama also provides a nice crunch that goes well with fresh herbs, marinated shrimp, and bright pickled veggies. A robust peanut sauce rounds everything out nicely. Best of all, this dish requires no cooking!

Ingredients

Pickled Carrots and Daikon:

Shrimp:

  • 1 pound shrimp pre-cooked
  • 2 tablespoons fish sauce
  • 1 tablespoon monk fruit granulated
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper

Spring Rolls:

  • 1/2 jicama sliced 1/16th inch thin on a mandolin
  • 1 bunch mint
  • 1 bunch cilantro

Peanut Sauce:

  • 1/2 cup crunchy natural peanut butter
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoons monk fruit powdered
  • 1 tablespoon fish sauce
  • 2 teaspoons gluten free soy sauce or 2 tablespoons coconut aminos
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon lime juice
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 6 ounces coconut milk about half of a 13.5oz can

Instructions

  • Prepare the pickled carrots and daikon: combine vinegar, salt, and sweetener. Add the julienned vegetables, ensure they are submerged, and refrigerate for at least one hour and up to one week.
  • Prepare the shrimp: combine shrimp with fish sauce, sweetener, garlic, and pepper. Allow to marinate in the refrigerator while the vegetables are pickling.
  • While vegetables and shrimp marinate, make the peanut sauce. Combine all ingredients and whisk until smooth. Adjust seasoning to taste.
  • Finally, peel a jicama and slice it as thin as possible. A mandolin is the easiest way to do this. Use the slices of jicama as a wrapper. Place a shrimp or two in the middle of the slice, top with pickled vegetables, fresh herbs, and diced peanuts. Wrap and serve along side peanut sauce.
