  • Step #4 Pour the boiling water over noodles, & let soak 10 mins or until tender; rinse & drain.
  • Step #5 Place a rice paper wrapper in warm water for 30 to 45 seconds or until softened; place on flat surface, & pat dry with paper towels.
  • Step #6 Place 3 shrimp halves below center of wrapper.
  • Step #7 Add 1/8 c noodles on top of shrimp.
  • Step #8 Place 1/12 of cucumber, carrot, onion, & mango on top of noodles.
  • Step #9 Arrange 3 to 4 basil leaves & 5 to 6 mint leaves on top of vegetables & mango.
  • Step #10 Fold bottom of wrapper over filling; fold in both sides, & roll up.

  • Step #15 Wine note: Napa Valley winemaker Jeff Morgan produces SoloRosa, & Covenant, a dry California rosé, a kosher Cabernet Sauvignon.
  • Step #16 Jeff wrote Dean & DeLuca: The Food & Wine Cookbook & The Working Parents Cookbook.
  • Step #17 His recently penned wine book, Rosé, A Guide to the World's Most Versatile Wine, appeared in bookstores in May.
  • Step #18 Below, Jeff pairs wine with this flavorful shrimp recipe.
  • Step #19 With fresh mint, basil, & tropical mango adding plenty of character to this dish, it's important to look for a wine that is as versatile as the recipe--rosé, of course.
  • Step #20 A dry rosé should carry plenty of fruit flavor but be balanced by bright acidity & good body.
  • Step #21 Look for Chateau Routas (about $10) from the South of France.
