Gluten Free Shrimp Spring Rolls
These fresh, vibrant rolls are everything you want in a light meal — plump shrimp, crisp julienned vegetables, cool herbs, and silky rice vermicelli all bundled into a translucent rice paper wrapper. The whole thing comes together without any heat beyond boiling water, making it one of the easiest no-fuss dinners you can pull off on a weeknight. Since every component here — rice paper wrappers, rice vermicelli, tamari — is naturally free of wheat and gluten-containing grains, there's no substitution stress or label-squinting required. The dipping sauce alone is worth the effort: tamari, fresh lime juice, honey, sesame oil, and grated ginger create a bright, tangy-savory balance that ties every bite together. A pinch of red pepper flakes in the sauce adds just enough heat if you're into it. This recipe makes 4 servings, so it's ideal for a casual dinner or a fun spread where everyone rolls their own.
