Add vermicelli noodles and cook for 3 to 4 minutes, until soft. Drain, rinse under cold water and set aside. Place all ingredients in separate bowls, or in mounds on a large platter for easy assembly. Fill a large bowl with very warm tap water. Immerse one rice paper wrapper in water, until soft and pliable (about 30 seconds). Place on dry cutting board. Let sit for one minute. Place one lettuce leaf about a third of the way up from the bottom of the wrapper and top with a small amount of vermicelli and bean sprouts, a couple of cucumber sticks, 3 sprigs cilantro and 2 basil leaves. Fold in sides over the filling and roll until a third of the wrapper is left. Place 3 shrimp halves and 2 mint leaves on the last third of the wrapper. Moisten the end on the wrapper with some warm water top help seal the roll. Carefully finish rolling wrapper. Repeat until all the ingredients are “rolled up.” Serve immediately with peanut dipping sauce. Peanut Sauce Prep Time: 5 minutes, Cook Time: 3 minutes, Makes: About one cup 1/2 c.
