Rainbow Seafood Spring Rolls with a Peanut Butter Gochujang Sauce

Spring rolls are a great option for those times when you are looking to change it up from your typical go to salads.

I love making spring rolls when I am in the mood for something light and healthy, yet I want to feel like I am having a meal. These are guaranteed to fill you up because they are filled with not only one, but two types of protein. I love both shrimp and crab and I couldn’t just choose one. So, I opted to make a seafood roll and include both! That way, you can get the best of both worlds.

These spring rolls are not only great for meals such as lunch or dinner. When they are cut in half or in thirds, they can also be a great appetizer for your family and friends for when you host!  

It is common for guests to have peanut allergies, so if that is the case, this peanut butter gouchjang dipping sauce will not suffice. Instead, I highly recommend serving them with an alternate sweet chili sauce. I have a Mango Peach Chili Dipping Sauce in a previous recipe that also was served with shrimp and it was phenomenal.

Ingredients

For the Rainbow Seafood Spring Rolls:

  • 1 Package spring roll wrappers (I used the blue dragon brand)
  • 1 12 oz. Package imitation crab sticks
  • 15 Pieces of cooked shrimp, cut in half lengthwise (so, the shrimp is thinner)
  • 10-15 Pieces of Green leaf lettuce
  • 1 Red bell pepper, thinly sliced
  • Half of one cucumber, thinly sliced
  • 1 Cup shredded carrots
  • 1-2 Mangoes, thinly sliced
  • 1 10-12“ plate with water (To soak the spring roll wrappers)

For the Peanut Butter Gochujang Sauce:

  • 1 Cup peanut butter, smooth
  • 2 TBSP soy sauce
  • 1 TBSP gochujang
  • Lime juice from one lime
  • 1/2 TSP garlic powder
  • 1 TSP sesame oil
  • 3/4 cup water
Instructions
  1. Place all sauce ingredients in a bowl and whisk together. Place in your serving bowl of choice and set in the fridge to cool.
  2. Prepare your filling ingredients: remove tails from the shrimp and slice in half lengthwise so the pieces of shrimp are thinner, remove crab from packaging and place on a plate, thinly slice mangoes, thinly slice red bell pepper, thinly slice cucumbers, rip off green leaf leaves, and place shredded carrots in a bowl.
  3. Fill plate with water, enough to fully submerge the rice papers.

Filling and Rolling Method:

  1. To begin filling. First submerge one rice paper sheet in the water. Submerge for about 1-2 minutes or until it becomes soft, sticky and flexible.
  2. Place wet flexible rice sheet on a cutting board, about one third of the way up from the bottom, place 1 green leaf, followed by mangoes, red bell peppers, carrots, crab stick. Tightly tuck all ingredients and carefully roll forward. Make sure to leave some space on the sides for wrapping and securing. Flip both sides up and over.
  3. Take three pieces of shrimp and slide the tail side under the remaining opening to tightly secure them in the roll. Then, roll forward one last time to finish your last roll and wrap to secure!

Can I do this in a slow cooker instead of the oven?
