• 2 Hass avocados--peeled, pitted & sliced lengthwise 1/2 inch thick
• 1 red bell pepper, cored & cut into thin strips
• 1 lb medium shrimp, shelled & deveined
• 4 oz rice vermicelli
•  Sixteen 8-inch round Asian rice papers
•  Herbed Nuoc Cham
• 1 bunch watercress, large stems discarded
• 2 large carrots, finely shredded

• Step #1 In a medium bowl, cover the vermicelli with cool water & let soak until pliable, about 20 mins.
• Step #2 Meanwhile, in a saucepan of boiling water, cook the shrimp until bright pink, 1 to 2 mins.
• Step #3 Using a slotted spoon, transfer the shrimp to a colander.
• Step #4 Rinse under cold water & pat dry.
• Step #5 Halve the shrimp lengthwise; cover & put in the fridge.
• Step #6 Bring the water back to a boil.
• Step #7 Add the drained vermicelli & cook, stirring, until al dente, about 1 min.
• Step #8 Drain & rinse until completely cool.
• Step #9 Let the vermicelli dry in the colander for about 20 mins, tossing every once in awhile.
• Step #10 Dip each rice paper in a bowl of cool water to wet it.
• Step #11 Set the rice paper on a work surface to soften; the paper will become opaque & pliable.
• Step #12 Pat dry.
• Step #13 Put 4 shrimp halves, cut side up, in a line across the lower third of each rice paper.
• Step #14 Top with 2 or 3 sprigs of watercress, a large pinch of shredded carrot, 2 strips of red pepper & some of the vermicelli.
• Step #15 Press to flatten, then top this with a slice of avocado.
• Step #16 Pull the rice paper up & over the filling & roll up tightly, folding in the sides as you go.
• Step #17 Place the roll on a large platter, seam side down, & repeat with the remaining ingredients.
• Step #18 When all the summer rolls are made, cut them in half crosswise & arrange, cut side up, on the platter.
• Step #19 Serve the summer rolls with the Herbed Nuoc Cham for dipping.
• Step #20 Make Ahead: The summer rolls can be tightly wrapped in plastic & put in the fridged for up to 1 hr.
• Step #21 Wine Recommendation: The brisk acidity & bright, tangy fruit of an Italian Pinot Grigio would play off the spicy watercress in these rolls & the citrusy lime sauce.
• Step #22 Look for the 1998 Colterenzio Alto Adige or the 1998 Ronco del Gnemiz Fruili.
