Step 1
Whisk flour with 1 cup water, a pinch of salt, and 1 tbsp fish sauce until smooth. Let sit 5 minutes.
Step 2
Mix remaining fish sauce, sugar, and lime juice with 3 tbsp water for dipping sauce. Set aside.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp butter in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until foamy. Add half the shrimp and squid, cook 90 seconds per side until opaque.
Step 4
Push seafood to the edge of the skillet. Pour in half the batter, immediately tilt and swirl to coat the pan evenly. Scatter half the bean sprouts over top.
Step 5
Cook until edges turn golden and crispy (edges should look lacy), about 3–4 minutes. Do not flip.
Step 6
Fold crepe in half and slide onto a plate. Repeat with remaining butter, seafood, batter, and sprouts. Serve with lettuce, herbs, and dipping sauce.
