Step 1
In a bowl, mix 1 cup tapioca starch, 0.5 cup water, and 0.5 tsp salt until it forms a crumbly dough. Let it rest for 5 minutes.
Step 2
Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle half the tapioca mixture evenly into the pan, pressing down gently. Cook until the crepe firms up and edges lift, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Flip the crepe and cook for another 1-2 minutes until it's set but still pliable. Remove and repeat with the remaining mixture to make a second crepe.
Step 4
In the same skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add 0.5 lb shrimp and cook until pink and opaque, about 3-4 minutes. Season with a pinch of salt.
Step 5
Place one crepe on a plate. Layer with half the cooked shrimp, 2 oz ham, and 2 oz cheese. Fold the crepe over the filling.
Step 6
Return the stuffed crepe to the skillet over low heat. Cook until the cheese melts, about 2-3 minutes. Repeat with the second crepe.
Step 7
Garnish with 2 tbsp fresh herbs and serve warm.
