Hey everybody.

It's Natasha with natashaskitchen.com.

Today, we're making spring rolls.

[Natasha] These are healthy, crisp, so fresh.

Plus, they're simple to make.

We're gonna start with the shrimp

and have everything prepped and ready to go

before we start rolling them.

This is everything you need to know

to make the best homemade spring roll.

So, let's get started.

[Natasha] We're gonna boil our own shrimp

because they taste so much better.

Peel and devein one pound of large shrimp,

put the shells in a medium saucepan

along with one tablespoon of garlic salt,

half a teaspoon of black pepper, and a bay leaf.

Add eight cups of cold water and bring that to a boil

over medium-high heat.

Once it boils, add all of the shrimp at once

and simmer it until they're pink.

This takes just two to three minutes,

depending on the size of your shrimp.

Just as soon as they're cooked through,

immediately transfer them to a bowl of ice water

to stop the cooking process.

Boiling shrimp at home is so fast and so easy.

Set those aside to cool completely

while you prep the noodles.

You'll need three to four ounces
