Shrimp Tempura Ingredients
Method
Shrimp Tempura Directions
- 1
Prepare the Shrimp
Start by rinsing the shrimp under cold water and patting them dry with paper towels. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the tempura batter mix with cold water. Whisk gently until just combined; do not overmix, as the batter should remain slightly lumpy.
- 3
Coat the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the tempura batter, ensuring that they are well coated.
- 4
Air Fry the Shrimp
Preheat your air fryer to 375°F (190°C). Place the battered shrimp in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook for 6-8 minutes, or until the shrimp are golden brown and crispy, flipping halfway through.

Prepare the Avocado
While the shrimp are cooking, slice the avocado into thin wedges and set aside.

Plate the Dish
Once the shrimp are done, remove them from the air fryer and place them on a serving plate. Arrange the avocado slices alongside the shrimp.

Drizzle with Eel Sauce
Drizzle the eel sauce over the shrimp and avocado. Sprinkle toasted sesame seeds on top for garnish.

Serve
Serve immediately while the shrimp tempura is hot and crispy.
