2. Place the lettuce, vermicelli, mint, cilantro, carrot, cucumber and avocado in the middle of the rice paper, leaving 1 inch margins all around.

3. Start wrapping the roll by folding the edge closest to you, over all the toppings. Then fold in the left and right side.

4. Place 2 shrimp halves and a green onion on the folded section. Then continue rolling the wrap away from your body. Voila! A completed wrap.
