Method of Preparation
Place lime juice, adobo sauce, cilantro, Serrano pepper, honey, oil, vinegar, shallots , garlic, oil, salt and pepper in a blender. Blend for approximately 15 to 20 seconds or until contents are smooth and emulsified. Set aside until ready to use.
Pour the chicken broth, into a small saucepan set over medium high heat Bring to a simmer and add the rice and chili powder. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer until all of the broth has been absorbed by the rice. Remove for the heat and cool to room temperature.
In a medium sized saute pan that has been preheated over medium high heat, melt the butter with the olive oil. Add the 3 remaining cloves of garlic and shrimp pieces and sprinkle with the jerk seasoning. Saute until shrimp is pink and slightly opaque approximately 3 minutes. Remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and allow to cool.
Before assembling wraps, set out all ingredients in the following order.
lettuce, black beans, corn, red cabbage, pineapple, cheese, avocado, cooked rice, cooked shrimp, onion and cilantro.
Place the bowl of warm water next to a clean work surface.
Submerge one rice paper wrapper into the bowl approximately 5 seconds or until it starts to soften. Remove it from the water. shake off residual water and place onto the work surface. To assemble working quickly, place 2 heaping teaspoons of the lettuce in a thin strip down the middle of the wrapper leaving 1 inch border on each end. On one side of the lettuce, place one heaping tablespoon of black beans in a strip , then on the other side, place one heaping tablespoon of corn leaving the same one inch border. Follow the same procedure with the red cabbage, pineapple, cheese, and avocado 2 slivers end to end placing them in strips on alternating sides. Vegetables should appear in stripes when done. Follow this with 2 rounded tablespoons
of each of the cooked rice, 2 tablespoons of shrimp, one eighth of the onion and cilantro, carefully sprinkled over the top without disturbing the stripes. To roll up, fold the wrapper on the side parallel to the stripes over the top and then tuck under the ingredients. Now fold the 1 inch ends of the wrapper up and lay on top of the wrapper that has been folded over the top. Now roll the contents up "cigar" fashion. . As you roll, gently compress the filling to "tighten" the rolls and make them slightly firm. The rolls will easily seal themselves at the end. Place each roll side by side on a serving plate until you have 8 rolls.
Serve immediately or if desired, cover the rolls with a damp paper towel and then with plastic wrap to refrigerate for 30 minutes before serving. Cut in half diagonally and serve with equal amounts of sauce fro drizzling into the cut ends as they are eaten.
