"This is a recipe for Bun Nem with Prawns. Do you already know Bo Bun? Bun Nem is a variation of this Vietnamese salad made with spring rolls instead of beef. In the following recipe I have mixed spring rolls and shrimps to add even more flavour to this salad!
Vietnam is one of my favourite destinations. The country has so much to offer! I had the chance to visit it twice and I would return there at the first opportunity."
