Golden, crunchy, and impossible to stop at one — our Crispy Battered Shrimp is a crowd-pleasing Vietnamese appetizer that's a must-order at every Saigon Sun table. Plump shrimp in a light, crisp batter, served with a sweet chili dipping sauce that perfectly balances the savoury crunch.
We start with fresh, deveined shrimp, dip them in a feather-light tempura-style batter, and fry them in small batches until they're golden and shatteringly crisp. The batter stays delicate — no heaviness, no oil-soaked aftertaste — letting the natural sweetness of the shrimp shine through with every bite.
Served piping hot with our house sweet chili dipping sauce, this is the kind of starter that's just as popular with kids as it is with grown-ups. It's a go-to family-friendly appetizer at Saigon Sun, especially loved by guests trying Vietnamese food for the first time in Okotoks.
