Oven Fried Tempura Batter Shrimp Lettuce Wraps with a Teriyaki Sauce

Crispy Fried Tempura style Shrimp (prawns) wrapped in fresh crisp lettuce leaves and coated in a beautiful Teriyaki sauce.

This is the best of both worlds. Less fattening than one of the world’s favourite foods of all time — Crispy Oven Fried Beer Batter Crumbed Shrimp — but so incredibly crispy no one knows they’re not deep fried.

For the love of god. Not another lettuce wrap recipe?! I know, I know. I hang my head in shame. I’ve seen so many lately my eyeballs are turning green. But then…these happened. If your tired of your boring old lettuce wraps and need some crispy fried stuff in your lives…make.these.

And now…we can all go live in a happy place. Where everything is crumbed and low in fat and calories, but super juicy and taste deep fried. 

This was once again one of my, ‘I want tempura and I want Teriyaki but I don’t want to gain any weight just by looking at it,’ situations. So three became one. And they lived happily ever after. Because it’s no secret my love for Teriyaki runs deep…with Simple Teriyaki Chicken and Teriyaki Glazed Salmon up in here already. That’s it right there.

Drizzle on some of that good lovin’ Teriyaki sauce. Proceed to stuff your face. With chopsticks. To keep the mood going.

What gives the shrimp a deep-fried flavour is a light spray of cooking oil before baking. Trust me and try it!
