Ingredients: 10 oz large shrimp, peeled and deveined; 2 tablespoons fish sauce; 1 tablespoon lime juice; 1 teaspoon sugar; ½ cup rice flour; ¼ cup tapioca starch; ½ teaspoon sea salt; ⅓ cup water; 1 tablespoon neutral oil; 3 tablespoons neutral oil (for frying shallots); 3 medium shallots, thinly sliced; Sea salt; 4 tablespoons fish sauce; 3 tablespoons dark soy sauce; 2 tablespoons sugar; 1 tablespoon lime juice; 2 cloves garlic, minced; Fresh cilantro leaves; Lime wedges

Inspired by the bánh hoai of Hoi An, these aren't traditional—they're a playful appetizer that captures that fried rice-flour magic in bite-sized form. Charred shrimp studded into crispy rice-flour wafers, then glazed with a nearly black burnt fish sauce caramel that tastes dangerous and addictive. Topped with fried shallots, cilantro, and a whisper of lime.
