Shrimp and Chive Rolls

• 2 pounds (about 60) small shrimp, peeled and deveined
• 4 ounces rice vermicelli
• 1/4 cup fresh lime juice (2 limes)
• 2 tablespoons sesame oil
• 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
• 12 8 1/2-inch rice-paper wrappers
• 1/2 seedless cucumber, cut into matchsticks
• 1/2 pound (about 2 cups) bean sprouts
• 1 bunch fresh chives, ends trimmed
• 1 head Boston lettuce, washed
• 1 bunch fresh mint
• 1 bunch fresh cilantro

1. Bring a large pot of water to a boil.
2. Reduce to a simmer.
3. Add the cleaned shrimp; poach until pink and cooked through, about 2 minutes.
4. Slice 12 cooked shrimp in half lengthwise.
5. Set aside.
6. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil.
7. Cook the vermicelli until softened, about 2 minutes.
8. Remove from heat; drain.
9. Transfer to a bowl.
10. Add the lime juice, sesame oil, and salt; toss.
11. Set aside.
12. Dip a rice-paper wrapper into a bowl of warm water for 5 seconds; transfer to a clean work surface (the wrapper will still feel hard but will soften as it sits).
13. Lay 1/4 cup vermicelli on the bottom third of the rice paper; top with about 4 uncut shrimp and some cucumber and bean sprouts.
14. Roll halfway, tucking in the ends.
15. Place the chives and 2 shrimp halves on the roll; continue to roll so the chives and shrimp are enclosed but still showing through the rice paper.
16. Place the finished roll on a plate; cover with a damp paper towel.
17. Continue filling and rolling rice papers until all ingredients are used.
18. Serve with lettuce, mint, and cilantro on the side.
