Vietnamese Style-Shrimp Spring Rolls

A great summertime meal for hot weather days.
My version of a low carb spring roll by substituting bean sprouts for the rice, vermicelli noodles.
In place of cilantro and mint leaves, I am using Thai basil, Italian basil and green onions from our garden.
Dipping sauce: equal parts of hoisin sauce, and creamy peanut butter. And 2 tbls of warm tap water as a thinner.

Great tip on the bean sprouts! Any way to cut carbs im all here to hear! Love shrimp and love basil.

It's great that you can source most of this from the garden and the kitchen Mark. That way, you know they are fresh. Thanks for sharing.

[@MarkKratzMC]

Thank you Chris. Yes it’s nice to be able to pluck fresh ingredients. Buying basil at the grocery store is expensive. Thanks for stopping by.

Those look great! Fun to use home grown veggies and sprouts. A good meal for a hot day! Stay cool!

[@MarkKratzMC]

Thank you! You too!

#13👍🏼 How did you know these are my favorite?😍 Cool idea using the bean sprouts. Fabulous!
Stay stealthy😎💖💋

One of my favorites also. They taste so refreshing. Have you tried making them yourself? I definitely prefer using the bean sprouts over the vermicelli. I think the vermicelli noodles are kind of bland.

Never have tried that before. Sounds yummy. 👍👍👍👍

[@MarkKratzMC]

Vietnamese food is one of my favorite cuisines. Most of their dishes taste refreshing. So I’ve made an effort to learn how to prepare them myself. Thanks for your support Al.

Great looking meal Mark! Thanks for sharing dude.

[@MarkKratzMC]

Thanks for watching

[@nutmeg2palmetto]

That looks damn tasty! Great job on the form!

[@MarkKratzMC]

Thanks! They sure taste refreshing.

[@gustavgron2252]

Great job! I prefere Nouc Cham sauce to spring rolls, but I dont know what is most authentic Vietnamese. Maybe both are

[@MarkKratzMC]

I think you are right on the sauces. When I was in Vietnam, the choices were regional. Here in the US, the peanut sauce is more common.
