METHOD
- Wash the zucchini and cut into thin lengthwise slices using a vegetable peeler.
- Bring 2 liters (8 cups) water to a boil. Once it is boiling, add some salt and immerse the zucchini slices for about 1 minute; drain them gently and refresh in ice water. Drain again and transfer to paper towels.
- Peel the shrimp and peel the garlic.
- In a blender, purée the shrimp, garlic, coconut milk, chili paste, curry, nuoc mam and cilantro (reserving a few leaves for garnish).
- Stack up 3 strips of zucchini; on one end place a large teaspoonful of chili paste and roll everything up with the shrimp filling without pressing too tightly. Fasten the rolls in place with a toothpick. Repeat until all the ingredients have been used up.
- Steam for 6 minutes.
- Serve warm, cold or hot with nem (spring roll) dipping sauce, cilantro and a few lettuce leaves. Some rice noodles that have been already soaked in warm water could also be added.

CHEF'S NOTES
Hint: the shrimp and zucchini bites can be cooked in the microwave. Place them on a plate, cover with plastic wrap, make a few holes in the wrap and cook for 3 minutes on high.
