In a small nonstick skillet, heat 2 T. canola oil over medium-high heat. When oil is shimmering, place four shrimp in a line down the lower half of the skillet. Fill bottom of skillet with crepe batter (about 3/4 c.). Sprinkle with 2 T. bean sprouts and 2 T. scallions. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook until shrimp are opaque, 3-4 minutes. Remove lid, return heat to medium-high, and continue to cook until crepe is crisp and golden brown on the bottom, another 1-2 minutes. Carefully transfer crepe to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Repeat to make three additional banh xeo.
