Fresh Spring Rolls are easy to make for lunch or for a wholesome snack. They can be made with just about any vegetable you have on hand.

I made these Shrimp Quinoa Fresh Spring Rolls with fresh shrimp, lettuce, carrots, fresh squash and Minute Ready to Serve White & Red Quinoa.

I love how easy it is to add quinoa to this or any recipe with the Minute Ready to Serve White & Red Quinoa.

I’ve made quinoa before and not only does it take a bit of time with all the rinsing and boiling but I never know how to judge the perfect amount of quinoa when I am making it.

I always end up with a ton of cooked quinoa left over and it always ends up getting thrown away and wasted.

Now that I can buy the Minute Ready to Serve White & Red Quinoa in individual servings, I will not only be able to have the right amount of cooked quinoa for my recipes but I will be saving a bunch of money because I will not be throwing away the excess cooked quinoa I always end up with.

Spring Roll Dipping Sauce

Serve these Shrimp Quinoa Fresh Spring Rolls with your favorite peanut dipping sauce recipe or make the Ginger Almond Dipping Sauce recipe I made for these Shrimp Quinoa Fresh Spring Rolls.

It is a delightful spring roll dipping sauce recipe for those who do not like a peanut dipping sauce.

How to Make Shrimp Quinoa Fresh Spring Rolls

Ingredients

20 medium cooked fresh shrimp, cut in half
lettuce, shredded
2 medium carrots, spiralized or cut into sticks
2 small yellow squash, spiralized or cut into sticks, then blanched in boiling for 1 minute
Fresh herbs, I used mint and basil
Minute® Ready to Serve White & Red Quinoa
Spring Roll Wrappers

Dipping Sauce

Directions to make Shrimp Quinoa Fresh Spring Rolls

Cook and cut the shrimp.
Shred, spiralize or cut the vegetables into sticks.
Cut and blanch the squash
Assemble each Spring roll by moistening the Spring Roll Wrapper with water and placing it on top of a wet surface.
Lay 3 to 4 pieces of shrimp on the lower edge of the Spring Roll Wrapper and a few fresh herb leaves on top.
Layer the remaining vegetables on top of the shrimp.
End with about a tablespoon of Minute® Ready to Serve White & Red Quinoa and one piece of shrimp.
Roll and tuck the edge of the wrapper over the filling, then tuck the edges in. Next tightly roll the Spring roll wrapper over the filling.
Place on a serving plate or tray, making sure the edges of each Spring Roll does not touch the next roll to prevent them from sticking together.
Repeat with the remaining filling ingredients to make about 6 Shrimp Quinoa Fresh Spring Rolls.
