1

Make the crêpe batter: In a large bowl, combine rice flour, sugar, salt, and turmeric. Beat in coconut milk until thick. Gradually beat in water until it reaches a thin crêpe batter consistency.
2

Make the filling: Heat 1 1/2 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the shallot and the garlic; cook and stir until fragrant but not browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the shrimp; sauté until cooked through and opaque, 3 to 4 minutes. Season with fish sauce and salt. Transfer the filling to a bowl.
3

Preheat the oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C).
4

Wipe out the skillet and reheat over medium heat. Add the remaining 1/2 tablespoon oil. Stir the crêpe batter and pour 1/2 cup into the hot skillet, swirling to coat the bottom. Arrange 3 or 4 cooked shrimp on the bottom half of the crêpe. Top with a small handful of bean sprouts. Cook until the batter looks set and the edges start to brown, about 1 minute. Fold the crêpe over and slide it onto an oven-safe plate.
5

Place the crêpe in the preheated oven to keep warm. Repeat with the remaining batter, shrimp, and bean sprouts.
6

Serve the crêpes with lettuce leaves. Break off pieces of crêpe and roll them in lettuce to eat.

How easyChef Pro scores recipes and products

easyChef Pro analyzes up to 41 nutrients using data sourced from USDA and other verified food databases. Its scoring method uses the nutrients relevant to nutrition quality, calorie density, processing level, and your selected health goal. Recipes and food products get a health score from 0 to 100, calculated using consistent rules instead of being estimated by AI. The same nutrition data, serving size and health goal will produce the same result.

The calculation evaluates nutrients, calorie density, processing level, and how well the food supports your selected health goal. Protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals and other beneficial nutrients can strengthen the score. High amounts of sodium, saturated fat, added sugar and other nutrients may lower it.

Your health goal also matters. easyChef Pro evaluates recipes and products across six health areas and adjusts their importance for your selected goal. This means the same food may be a better fit for one health goal than another.

For recipes, changing an ingredient, quantity or serving size changes the nutrition and may change the score. Remix the recipe in easyChef Pro to calculate fresh nutrition and scores for the version you actually make. Product scores are based on the nutrition and serving information associated with that specific product.
