- Remove wrapper and place on flat surface.
- Place shrimp (I halved them) on the top third of the wrap.
- Place lettuce and other desired veggies on the bottom third of the wrap.
- Place vermicelli noodles, basil, mint and cilantro on top of the veggies.
- Start to roll from the bottom.
- Roll tightly until you cover the shrimp.
