Instructions
Jenny's Tip: - Don't worry - even though it's a 4-step process the steps are really easy so watch the video and see exactly how easy it is to enjoy simple, delicious, flavorful food with just the right wine.
Step 1 ~ Preparing the Greens
Over medium heat add oil to the pan and sauté the white onions until golden, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
Add the pea shoots also seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, turning in the pan to get the all warm then add the cilantro and green onion and continue to cook (without burning) and then add in the sesame oil, keep turning the pan and cooking until the greens soften.
Remove the greens from the heat and empty the pan into a bowl to cool.
Cut the greens into bite sized pieces and return to the bowl.
Step 2. ~ Making the Crepes
In a large mixing bowl add in the eggs and whisk
Gradually add the milk pouring down the bowl side and whisk, then the water, followed by the chives, then the olive oil, whisking to combine after each addition. Finally add the flour and continue whisking, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste, until combined and the batter is smooth
In a pan over medium heat, add the oil then, using a ladle, add about 1/4 cup of the batter onto pan, swirling it to evenly coat
Cook both sides until golden and crispy - about 2 minutes on first side, then flip and cook about 1 minute more
Set the crepe on a plate to construct the dish
Repeat with remaining batter
Step 3. ~ Stir-fry the Shrimp
Cut off the shrimp tails and the cut them in half longitudinally
Coat the shrimp with Herbies Mole Poblano Spice
Add the sesame oil and using your hands make sure the shrimp are completely coated with the oil and spice
Over medium heat add oil to the pan and sauté the shrimp, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste and cook until the shrimp are caramelized (it's OK if the oil flames up a little)
Step 4. ~ The Big Finish
Lay a crepe out flat on a plate
place a row of greens across the center of the crepe
add the shrimp and roll the crepe folding it like a tiny burrito
Serve with cilantro and hoisin sauce on the side
Jenny's Tip: -
Rich, sweet and salty, hoisin sauce is the perfect foundation for Asian-inspired dishes likely because it contains soy sauce, molasses, rice vinegar, peanut butter, garlic, sriracha, ground pepper and cornstarch. You can make it at home but a little goes a long way so it's easier to pick up your favorite store bought brand, but if you want us to provide a recipe just click here to let us know.
