Shrimp Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a bowl, season the peeled and deveined shrimp with salt and black pepper. Toss to ensure even seasoning.
Tempura Batter
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. In a separate bowl, whisk together the ice-cold water and beaten egg. Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. The batter should be lumpy; do not overmix.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). You can test the temperature by dropping a small amount of batter into the oil; if it sizzles and rises to the surface, it's ready.

Fry the Shrimp
Dip each seasoned shrimp into the tempura batter, ensuring it is fully coated. Carefully place the batter-coated shrimp into the hot oil, being cautious not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and drain on paper towels.
