Vietnamese Rice Paper Rolls

"Super quick and easy to make, and very tasty! Recipe calls for shrimp but you could use any assortment of meats and veggies. Butter lettuce, cilantro, shredded carrot, ground pork, strips of bbq pork or duck, etc., make good additions (don't forget to cook the meat first).Taken from "The Essential Rice Cookbook" published by Borders."
