Recipe 🍳
- Dice bell pepper, onion, carrot, and pineapple into 0.5 cm cubes.

- Coat the cleaned shrimp evenly with the batter.
- Mix mayonnaise and sugar in roughly a 1:1 ratio, then add lemon juice, salt, vinegar, and wasabi to taste to make the wasabi mayo sauce.
- Fry the shrimp in preheated oil until crispy, then remove and drain off excess oil.
- Add the prepared sauce and diced vegetables to a pan and gently toss together before turning off the heat.
- Add the fried shrimp to the pan and quickly toss using residual heat until the sauce evenly coats the shrimp.
- Place clean lettuce on a plate, then top with the tossed shrimp to finish.

Cooking tips 💡
- Making deep cuts along the shrimp’s back helps them stay round and full when fried.
- Always mix the sauce with residual heat after turning off the stove—this prevents separation and maintains crispness.
- For a more tangy flavor, add a small amount of vinegar in addition to lemon juice.
