In the center of the wrapper, horizontally arrange two halved shrimp. Below the shrimp, add a small handful of cooked rice vermicelli, followed by a sprinkle of fresh basil, mint, cilantro, and chopped lettuce. Remember to leave approximately two inches of space on each side of the wrapper.

Gently fold the uncovered sides of the wrapper inward. Starting from the edge closest to you, tightly roll the wrapper over the filling, ensuring a compact and secure roll. Repeat this process for the remaining rice paper wraps.
