Shrimp and Jicama Rolls with Chili-Peanut Sauce

  1. In a medium bowl, toss the shrimp with 2 tablespoons of the canola oil and 1/2 teaspoon of kosher salt.
  2. In a large skillet or a wok, heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil until small puffs of smoke begin to appear.
  3. Add the shrimp and stir-fry over high heat until just pink, about 1 minute.
  4. Transfer the shrimp to a medium bowl.
  5. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons of canola oil to the skillet.
  6. Add the shallot and garlic and stir-fry them until they are softened and fragrant, about 30 seconds.
  7. Add the jicama and cook, stirring, until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes.
  8. Add the wine and cook until slightly reduced, about 1 minute.
  9. Add the stock, fish sauce and sesame oil and bring to a boil.
  10. Simmer over moderate heat until the jicama is tender, but still slightly crunchy, about 4 minutes longer.
  11. Drain the jicama and add it to the shrimp.
  12. Let cool.
  13. Fill a glass pie plate with hot tap water.
  14. Working with 1 at a time, soak each rice-paper round in the water until pliable, 1 minute; transfer the round to a work surface and blot any excess water with paper towels.
  15. Set a piece of lettuce on the bottom third of the rice-paper round, followed by 1 basil leaf, a rounded tablespoon of the Chili-Peanut Sauce and a few chopped peanuts.
  16. Top with 4 to 5 pieces of jicama and 4 pieces of shrimp.
  17. Fold up the bottom as tightly as possible, then fold in the sides and roll up the package, forming a tight cylinder.
  18. Set the roll on a platter and cover with a damp paper towel and plastic wrap.
  19. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
