Step 1
Whisk rice flour, turmeric, and salt together, then stir in coconut milk and 0.25 cup water until smooth batter forms.
Step 2
Mix fish sauce and lime juice in a small bowl for dipping sauce; set aside.
Step 3
Heat 2 tbsp oil in a 10-inch nonstick skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Pour half the batter into the skillet and arrange half the shrimp on top. Let cook undisturbed for 3–4 minutes until bottom edges turn golden and crispy.
Step 5
Flip the pancake carefully, cook another 1–2 minutes until the second side is light golden. Transfer to a plate and repeat with remaining batter and shrimp.
Step 6
Top pancakes with green onion and fresh herbs, drizzle with fish sauce dip, and serve hot.
