These are delicious "no-cook" healthy fresh tasting spring roll that when combined with Satay (<a href="Thai Inspired Peanut Dipping Sauce">Thai Peanut Sauce</a>) or (<a href="Hot And Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce">Hot and Sweet Chili Dipping Sauce</a>) it's simply devine.

How to make it

- Cook bean thread according to packaging. Drain, rinsing in cold water, then gently squeeze out excess moisture. Chop noodles so threads are just a few inches long.
- In a large bowl toss cabbage, carrot, onions and noodles till thoroughly mixed.
- In a flat pan at least 10 inches wide fill about an inch deep with very warm water. Soak wrappers, one wrapper at a time for 30 seconds or so until softened.
- Spread wrapper onto kitchen towel. Place about 1/4 cup of cabbage mixture on bottom third of wrapper. Place 2 or 3 shrimp on top and a sprinkle of basil leaves.
- Fold bottom of wrapper up over filling. Fold sides in, then tightly roll up the remainder. Place on serving platter. Repeat until all the filling is used up.
- You may serve immediately or tightly seal in airtight container and refrigerate up to 2 or 3 days.
- Serve with dipping sauces:
