Shrimp Tempura Recipe

Shrimp tempura is a popular Japanese dish of lightly battered and fried shrimp. The batter is made of flour, baking powder, and ice water, resulting in a light and crispy coating around the shrimp. It's a tasty appetizer or main course that's simple to prepare and always a crowd pleaser.

Ingredients

1 cup ice water
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
10 large peeled and deveined shrimp
vegetable oil
1 egg, beaten

Time Needed

Prep Time: 20 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 30 minutes

Instructions

Whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt in a mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, combine the ice water and egg.
Stir together the wet and dry ingredients until just combined.
It's fine if the batter is lumpy.
In a deep, heavy pot or skillet, heat about 2 inches of vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 375°F.
Allow any excess batter to drip off each shrimp before dipping it into the batter.
Place the shrimp carefully into the hot oil, frying in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding the pot.
Cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until the batter is golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the shrimp to a paper towel-lined plate to drain using a slotted spoon or spider.
Serve the shrimp tempura immediately with your favorite soy sauce or dipping sauce.
