How to Make Tempura Shrimp

Instructions

Step 1

Make several shallow cuts along the belly side of each shrimp to prevent them from curling while frying.

Step 2

In a bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and cornstarch.

Step 3

In a separate bowl, whisk the egg yolk into the ice-cold water. Then, pour the egg mixture into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. It's okay if there are lumps; don't overmix.

Step 4

Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan or fryer to 340-350°F (170-180°C).

Step 5

Dip the shrimp into the tempura batter and allow any excess to drip off.

Step 6

Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil and fry until they are golden brown and crispy about 2-3 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the tempura shrimp and let them drain on paper towels.

Step 8

Serve with tsuyu dipping sauce and enjoy the delightful crunch of homemade tempura shrimp!
