Assemble the Rolls: Lay out a soaked rice paper on a clean surface. Add shrimp, herbs, and chopped vegetables in the center, leaving space on all sides for folding.

Roll it Up: Fold both sides over the filling and roll from the bottom up tightly but gently so that nothing spills out.

Dip & Serve: Whip up your dipping sauce by mixing soy sauce with lime juice. Serve your spring rolls fresh for maximum crunchiness
