Shrimp and Avocaco Summer Salad Rolls

Perfect for a picnic or outdoor concert!
(makes 4 rolls, serves 2)

For the rolls:
12-15 med. shrimp (about 1/2 lb.), peeled, deveined, and tails removed
2 t. grapeseed or other flavorless oil
1/4 t. sea* salt
4 rice paper wrappers, or more, if needed
1 avocado, halved, pit removed, and cut into 12 slices
8 sprigs cilantro
4 cups shredded romaine (about 1 head)

For the dressing:
2 T. tahini
2 t. yellow miso paste
2 T. freshly squeezed* lemon juice
2 T. warm water
1/2-1 t. sambal oelek, or more to taste (optional)

To cook the shrimp, preheat the oven to 400. Toss the shrimp with the oil and sprinkle with salt. Lay the shrimp on a baking sheet in a single layer. Roast for 5-8 mins., or until the shrimp are pink and cooked through. Remove from baking sheet and let cool. Meanwhile, make the dressing by mixing the tahini and miso in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in the lemon juice and water until a smooth dressing forms. Add sambal oelek for some spiciness, if desired. To assemble rolls, fill a large pie plate or other shallow dish large enough to fit the rice paper wrappers with warm water. Arrange the shrimp, avocado, cilantro and lettuce in bowls or plates around a damp cutting board, with the rice paper wrappers and soaking water nearby. Submerge a wrapper in the water and let sit until it is no longer stiff, but not so soft that it immediately folds onto itself, about 20-30 seconds. Place the softened wrapper on the cutting board. Arrange 3 shrimp in a row in the middle of the wrapper, followed by 3 pieces of avocado, 2 sprigs of cilantro, and about 1 cup of lettuce. Fold in the two sides of the wrapper, then roll the wrapper around the filling, trying to compress the lettuce as much as possible, similar to wrapping a burrito (remove some lettuce if you are finding it difficult to roll). The rice paper will stick to itself, sealing the roll closed. Transfer roll to a plate, and repeat with remaining ingredients. cut rolls in half and serve with the dressing on the side for dipping. Note: for a prettier roll, alternate the shrimp and avocado while layering.
