## 👩🍳 How to Make Crispy Shrimp and Chive Rice Paper Rolls
### Step 1: Cook the Shrimp
Season shrimp with garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook shrimp until pink and crispy, about 2 minutes per side. Set aside to cool.
### Step 2: Soften Rice Paper
Fill a large shallow dish with warm water. Dip one rice paper wrapper into the water for about 10-15 seconds until pliable but not too soft. Lay it flat on a clean surface.
### Step 3: Assemble the Rolls
On the lower third of the wrapper, place a small handful of chives, carrots, cucumber, and herbs if using. Add 2 shrimp on top and a lettuce leaf or greens if desired.
### Step 4: Roll It Up
Fold the sides over the filling, then roll tightly from the bottom to seal. Repeat with remaining wrappers.
### Step 5: Serve with Dipping Sauce
Serve immediately with your favorite dipping sauces like peanut sauce, hoisin, or sweet chili.
