Blend mixture to a smooth paste. 5. Roll each shrimp in about 3 tablespoons of this paste to coat. (First oil the palms of the hands lightly with peanut oil to prevent sticking.) Meanwhile heat deep-frying oil. 6. Beat remaining egg. Holding shrimp by the tail, dip first in egg, then in cornmeal to dredge lightly. Add shrimp to oil, 1 at a time, and deep-fry,until they float. Drain on paper toweling. 7. Shred lettuce and arrange on a serving platter with shrimp on top. Chop Chinese parsley; sprinkle over as a garnish. Serve hot, accompanied by lemon wedges. NOTE: For the fish fillets, use sea bass, pike or haddock. VARIATION: For the Chinese sausage, substitute 1 tablespoon dried duck (soaked).
