I grew up prioritizing Filipino lumpia among the cuisine during special celebrations. It has been my personal tradition to pair it up with spaghetti or pancit, and a glass-filled orange juice (or isn’t it every Filipino’s?). That is why I am so pumped up with its cousin dishes like this popular Shrimp Spring Roll.
I remember the very first time I tasted this kind of spring roll which was served in a Vietnamese restaurant. I was very intrigued with how the fillings are seen through the odd transparent wrapper and it also comes with a special sauce like Lumpiang Sariwa. Honestly, the pink shrimps are very tempting. I did not hesitate for one second to taste this new kind of roll recipe, and never did I regret to try it.

Roll everything until it is half-folded. Add enough pieces of half lengthwise cut of pink shrimp and slide in a single onion ring. Fold the rice paper completely and stack onto a platter.

Notes
- A retail-director of New York’s best seafood market advises that it’s important to look for the black spots on shrimp’s head — the lesser black spots it has, the fresher it is.
- The rice paper should not be oversoaked in water, otherwise it would too be hard to manage. At least 5-10 seconds is enough to make the rice paper supple.
- This recipe is best served within the same day it is cooked. Even if it can be preserved by chilling in the refrigerator, but the texture of the rice paper is not guaranteed to be the same.
