Make peanut sauce: whisk together peanut butter, hoisin, soy sauce, lime juice, and sriracha. Thin with warm water until it reaches a smooth, dippable consistency. Taste and adjust for balance of salty, sweet, and sour.

Set up an assembly station with a shallow dish of warm water, all fillings, and a clean damp surface to roll on.

Dip one rice paper sheet in warm water for 10–15 seconds — it should be pliable but not fully soft (it continues softening as you fill it). Lay flat on your work surface. In the bottom third, layer a few shrimp halves (pink side down), a small handful of noodles, lettuce, carrot, cucumber, and fresh herbs.

Fold the bottom edge up over the filling, pulling it firmly to compress everything. Fold in the sides, then roll forward tightly and firmly, squeezing as you go. The roll should feel firm and compact. Serve with peanut dipping sauce — the rolls are best eaten within 1–2 hours as the rice paper dries out.
