Ingredients:

Serving

3/4 lb (16 to 20 per lb.) raw shrimp, peeled and deveined
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
1 package (3 3/4 oz.) cellophane noodles (see notes )
2 tbsp rice vinegar
1/2 to 1 tsp hot chile flakes
2 tbsp fresh lime juice (about 3 small limes)
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp sugar
4 tbsp asian fish sauce ( nuoc mam or nam pla)
2 heads boston or butter lettuce , cores trimmed and leaves separated, rinsed, and drained
1 large carrot, peeled, ends trimmed , and grated lengthwise into ribbons
1/4 cup basil leaves
1/4 cup cilantro leaves
1/4 cup mint leaves
1/4 cup dry-roasted peanuts, finely chopped

Directions:

Put shrimp, salt, and pepper in a pot and add cold water to just cover shrimp. Bring water to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer and cook until shrimp are bright pink and tails are curled, about 1 minute. With a slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to a colander and let cool.
Put cellophane noodles in a medium pot and cover with hot water. Cover pot and set aside until noodles are softened, at least 15 minutes. Drain noodles and (using kitchen scissors) cut into 2- to 3-inch pieces. Return noodles to pot, drizzle with rice vinegar, and toss. Cover and set aside.
In a small bowl, mix chile flakes and lime juice and let sit several minutes. Add garlic, sugar, and fish sauce; whisk until sugar is dissolved. Transfer sauce to a serving dish.
To assemble wraps, arrange some noodles in the middle of each lettuce leaf and top with 1 shrimp. Garnish with carrot, basil, cilantro, mint, and peanuts. Tuck up the bottom of each leaf and fold sides inward to eat. Drizzle with or dip into sauce.
