1

Gather all ingredients.

Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil; stir in noodles and return to a boil. Cook noodles uncovered, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, 3 to 5 minutes; drain and set aside to cool.

Lay wrapper flat; place 2 shrimp halves in a row across the center, add some cooled noodles, lettuce, mint, cilantro, and basil, leaving about 2 inches uncovered on each side.
5

Fold uncovered sides inward, then tightly roll the wrapper, beginning at the end with lettuce. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
