Fill a pan with 1/2 cup of warm water and place near the cut vegetables, shrimp if using, and cooked noodles.
Set up a rolling station: cutting board, sliced veggies, shrimp, noodles, water filled skillet, and anything else you would like to add!
Start rolling! Add one sheet of rice paper to the warm water until it is pliable and no longer stiff (about 30 seconds). Take paper out of the water and place on a dry cutting board. Gently spread out the edges into a circle. It may take a little practice, so don’t feel bad if your first few attempts are a fail! To the bottom third of the wrapper add 3 shrimp if using to form a horizontal line. Top with a small handful of vermicelli noodles and layer carrots, mango, avocado, cucumber, fresh herbs, and anything else you are using on top. Gently fold over once, tuck in edges, and continue rolling until seam is sealed. Repeat with remaining rolls!
