Ingredients

Sauce

  • 1/4 cup mayo
  • 1/4 cup cocktail sauce
  • 1 lime

Rolls

  • 4 cobs corn
  • 8 jumbo shrimp (11-15 per pound)
  • 2 oz thin rice vermicelli
  • 20 basil leaves
  • 1 large avocado sliced thin
  • 1/4 cup candied jalapenos
  • 4 fresh roll wrappers
  • tajin

Instructions

  • To make the sauce, mix the mayo and cocktail sauce in a bowl. Squeeze in the lime juice and stir until fully combined. Set aside in the fridge until ready to use.
  • Brush the corn with some olive oil and grill the corn until slightly charred on all sides. about 3-5 minutes per side. Allow to cool before slicing all the kernels off the cobs.
  • Prepare an ice bath in a large bowl.
  • Bring some water to a bowl. Place the rice noodles in a small bowl. When the water is boiling, ladle enough water into the rice noodle bowl to cover the noodles, stir and soak according to package instructions until tender.
  • Add the shrimp to the boiling water and cook for about 3-5 minutes until cooked through. Transfer to ice bath to stop the cooking.
  • Finally it is time to make the rolls. Get all your ingredients ready and fill a wide and shallow bowl or pan with some water.
  • Dip a rice paper into the water for about 3-5 seconds and place it onto your work surface.
  • Add about 5 basil leaves, then 5 or so thin slices of avocado.
  • Next add on the rice noodles, then a spoonful of corn. Top with some candied jalapeno, and then 2 large shrimps.
  • Roll it up as tight as you can without ripping the wrapper. Repeat with the remaining rolls.
  • Coat a knife with some cooking spray and cut the rolls in half. Place them on a platter with the dipping sauce. Top everything with tajin and serve.
