Bring one large pot and one medium-size pot of water to a boil. Drop the
snow peas into the medium-size pot and cook for about 10 seconds (they will
turn bright green). Remove them from the pot with a slotted spoon and rinse
under cold water.
When the water in the medium-size pot has returned to a boil, add the
shrimp and cook for 2 minutes, or until opaque. Drain, and rinse shrimp
under cold water. Set aside.
Add the rice noodles to the large pot of boiling water. Boil for 4-5
minutes, drain, and rinse under cold water.
In a small bowl, whisk together the garlic, shallot, lime juice, fish
sauce, 1/2 cup water, sugar, and pepper flakes until the sugar is
dissolved. Divide the dressing into four small bowls.
Pile the lettuce leaf "cups" in the center of a large platter. Surround the
lettuce with separate mounds of carrot, bean sprouts, cucumber, scallion,
mint. cilantro, snow peas, noodles, and shrimp.
Give each person a plate upon which to put a lettuce leaf cup. Fill each
lettuce cup with a tiny bit of ingredient, drizzle with the dressing, and
roll up in the shape of a cylinder.
