Step #5 ).
Step #6 Assemble all cold/salad ingredients including the shrimp & the cooked cellophane noodles in an assembly line format around an open, flat surface such as a cutting board.

Step #8 Remove promptly or it will get soggy.
Step #9 Remove, let the water drip off & place on the cutting board.
Step #10 Fill with all ingredients, being careful not to overfill.
Step #11 Roll it up like a burrito (fold bottom over filling, tight package), then tuck each side in, then complete roll to form a neat, cut diagonally to create two halves & serve as soon as possible.
