Prepare the shrimp flavor chips:
In a wok over medium heat, add approximately two cups of vegetable oil. Heat the oil until below smoking.
Add the shrimp chips. They will puff up very quickly.
Turn off the heat. Using slotted spoon, take the chips out and lay on paper towel to drain off excess oil.
The oil when cooled, can be stored in a clean jar and reused again.
Using clean pinking shears cut the lettuce into small cups that would fit in the puffed shrimp chips.
In a wok over medium heat, add 1 tablespoon of the saved oil from above.
Heat the oil until below smoking.
Add the abalone mushroom, diced celery, red bell pepper and ****ake mushrooms and pine nuts. Stir fry very quickly for 1 minute.
Add the chicken broth, oyster sauce and sugar. Stir to mix very quickly.
Turn off the heat, divide and spoon the mixture into the twelve lettuce cups.
To serve:
Put each lettuce cup with the abalone mushroom mixture on top of a puffed shimp chip. Repeat to make 12 cups. Serve at once. Makes 4 servings
