Rick Egan | The Salt Lake Tribune Fresh Basil Rolls, two rolls with shrimp, fresh basil, vegetable and herbs in rice paper served with plum sauce, peanuts, and chili, at Benja Thai and Sushi, in Saint George, Thursday, August 20, 2015.

7.95 • Before chowing down on spicy pad Thai or red curry, exercise the tastebuds with this spring roll appetizer. Shrimp, fresh basil, vegetables and herbs are wrapped in super-thin rice paper and served with plum sauce, peanuts and chile. It's sweet and a bit spicy, and you'll have a difficult time deciding whether to share one of the two rolls in the order or keep them both to yourself.

Benja Thai and Sushi • 2 W. St. George Blvd., St. George; 435-628-9538.
