Steps:
- Whisk chickpea flour, coconut milk, eggs, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 1/2 tsp. turmeric in a medium bowl until smooth; set aside.
- Place bacon in a large nonstick skillet. Heat over medium and cook until fat is rendered and bacon is beginning to crisp, 1-2 minutes.
- Season shrimp with remaining 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. turmeric, then add to bacon in skillet. Continue to cook, stirring often, until shrimp is opaque and bacon is crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with scallions. Wipe out skillet.
- Heat 1 tsp. oil in same skillet over medium-high. Add one-quarter of shrimp mixture and shake to distribute in an even layer. Once sizzling, pour 1/2 cup pancake batter over shrimp mixture, being careful not to tilt pan to shift the even layer of shrimp mixture. Cover and cook one minute, then uncover and continue to cook until bottom of pancake is golden-brown and center is fully set, 2-3 minutes more. Carefully slide onto a plate. Repeat with remaining oil, shrimp mixture, and batter to make 3 more pancakes.
- Top pancakes with mung bean sprouts and herbs. Drizzle with chili oil, if using, and serve with lime wedges alongside.

Steps:
- Shell and devein shrimp. Wash them thoroughly, and set aside.
- Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan, and add onions. Over high heat, fry the onions until they turn golden brown (about 10 minutes) , stirring constantly to prevent burning. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic, ginger, and chilies, and fry for an additional 2 minutes. Add turmeric and coriander, stir rapidly for 15 seconds, and add coconut milk and salt. Cook the sauce, uncovered, until it thickens (about 10 minutes). Stir frequently to ensure that the sauce does not stick and burn.
- Add shrimp, mix, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, for 5-7 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through. Do not overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough and chewy. Check for salt, stir in minced cilantro leaves, and serve.
Tips:
- To make the perfect coconut shrimp pancake, use fresh, unsweetened coconut milk. This will give your pancakes a rich, creamy flavor.
- Be sure to finely chop the shrimp before adding it to the batter. This will help to ensure that the shrimp is evenly distributed throughout the pancakes.
- Don't overcook the pancakes! Cook them until they are just golden brown on both sides.
- Serve the pancakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce. Some popular options include sweet and sour sauce, chili sauce, or a simple lemon-butter sauce.
- If you are making the pancakes ahead of time, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours. To reheat, simply warm them up in a preheated oven or microwave.
