Transfer rice paper to damp cloth that will be your work surface.
Place a half-handful of shredded lettuce over the bottom third of the rice paper. Arrange some noodles and shredded carrot on the lettuce.
Tightly roll the rice paper halfway into a cylinder. Fold in the sides of the paper over the filling. Lay 2 shrimp halves, cut side down, 2 mint leaves and optional flowers along the crease. Continue rolling the rice paper to the edge to seal.
