Shrimp Tempura

Here is a recipe for shrimp tempura:

Ingredients:

  • 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup cornstarch
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 egg
  • 1 1/2 cups ice-cold water
  • Vegetable oil, for frying

Instructions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
  2. In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the ice-cold water.
  3. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy and thin.
  4. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or a large pot to 375°F (190°C).
  5. Dip the shrimp into the batter, shaking off any excess batter. Add the shrimp to the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes.
  6. Using a slotted spoon or a spider strainer, remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain.
  7. Serve the shrimp tempura with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or spicy mayo.
