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.

Ingredients 
 

  • 1 pound batch of our Oven Fried Beer Batter Crumbed Shrimp see link to that recipe in notes

Teriyaki Sauce:

  • ¼ cup soy sauce
  • ¼ cup mirin sweet Japanese rice wine
  • 2 tablespoons honey optional
  • 1 tablespoons rice wine vinegar or apple cider vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons brown sugar
  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic or 1 clove garlic, minced

Additional:

  • 1 head lettuce of choice rinsed and leaves separated
  • 1 large carrot grated
  • 1 medium red capsicum/bell pepper grated

Instructions 

  • Use our crispy oven fried beer batter crumbed shrimp recipe for the crumbed shrimp. 
  • While they're oven-frying, make your Teriyaki sauce:
    Combine all of the Teriyaki sauce ingredients into a small saucepan. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and gently simmer until the sauce has thickened.

To serve:

  • Divide the grated vegetables into each lettuce cup; place about 10 shrimp into each, tails removed; and drizzle with the teriyaki sauce.

Notes

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

    Hey, Karina! I just made these tonight, and they were super tasty. I used unsweetened shredded coconut in lieu of the Panko, and it added a nice flavor..thanks for the recipe! I had never even considered baking shrimp.

    I love tempura. Words can never describe my love with it. Thanks for the the tip with the olive oil spray. May be that’s why I’ve never made any restaurant tempura. Anyway, thank you dear. I love your recipe so much.
