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:
- In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat the egg and mix in the ice-cold water.
- Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. The batter should be slightly lumpy and thin.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep-fryer or a large pot to 375°F (190°C).
- 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.
- 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.
- Serve the shrimp tempura with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, sweet chili sauce, or spicy mayo.
Enjoy your homemade shrimp tempura!
