=====
SHRIMP MARINADE
Combine the shrimp, sliced scallions, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Marinate for 30 minutes.

DRIED SHRIMP
Soak the dried shrimp in warm water for 15 minutes.
Drain and blend in a food processor or blender until fine.
Sauté dried shrimp with 2 TBSP of oil on High Heat until it becomes dried, fragrant, and toasted. Set aside.

SCALLION OIL
Make Scallion oil by heating up the oil and add chopped scallions.
Saute until green onions become dark green, ~30 seconds. Set aside.

DIPPING FISH SAUCE
Mix and dissolve sugar in hot water. Combine the rest of the ingredients.

BATTER
Whisk together all the batter ingredients until there are no clumps.

COOKING & PLATING
Heat the Banh Khot pan on Medium-High Heat and add ~1 TSP of vegetable oil into each well.
Add ~1 TBSP of batter into each well. ~3/4 of the way full.
Quickly add one shrimp to each well before the batter fully sets.
Place a lid on the pan and cook for ~3 minutes or until the shrimp is fully cooked.
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another minute to get the bottom crispy.
Brush a bit of scallion oil over each Banh Khot and sprinkle on some dried shrimp powder.
Remove the Banh Khot from the pan using a spoon, starting from the edges and scooping inward.
Serve with sweet dipping fish sauce, fresh herbs, and pickled vegetables.
