Tempura Shrimp Lettuce Wrap Peking Style
Tempura Shrimp Lettuce Wrap Peking Style
The inspiration for this recipe comes from the traditional Peking Style Duck. We’ve replaced the Peking Duck with our Crispy Tempura Shrimp. Our crispy Tempura Shrimp cook from frozen so there is zero waste. In fact, they only take about 2 minutes in the deep fryer. Then, they get tossed in a reduction of hoisin sauce, honey and beer to give it that authentic Asian flavor. I recommend using a leafy lettuce or crispy Savoy cabbage for the cup. Your guests will love the play on textures and temperatures.
