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.

This is the best of both worlds. Less fattening than one of the world’s favourite foods of all time — Tempura-Inspired Prawns using this recipe — but so incredibly crispy no one knows they’re not deep fried. I mean…no.one.

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,’ type of 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.

    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.
