1/3 cup Peanut butter

2 tablespoons Fish sauce or soy sauce

2 tablespoons Rice vinegar

1 tablespoon Honey

1 tablespoon Sesame oil

1 teaspoon Hot Chinese chili paste

Directions

Cook rice by rinsing a few times and placing in a large saucepan. Cover rice with cold water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to medium and allow rice to cook until almost all water has evaporated or been absorbed. Cover, reduce heat to low, and steam 10 minutes. Allow rice to rest 20 minutes. Combine all ingredients for the sauce. For the shrimp, heat oil in a wok or large, deep skillet. Add shrimp and cook until 3/4 done. Reserve. Return pan to heat, add a bit more oil and garlic and ginger and cook about 20 seconds until fragrant. Add carrots, celery, peppers and cook until vegetables begin to wilt about 5 minutes. Add sauce and shrimps. Heat thoroughly. Add herbs. Warm tortillas. Arrange on a work surface and place a "brick" of rice in the center of each. Top with shrimp and sauce. (Use about 1 1/4 cups/300 mL filling in total for each.) Wrap tortilla around the filling. Serve casually. NOTES : Makes 8 wraps
