Tempura Shrimp Directions

Prepare the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Gradually add the cold water and mix until just combined. The batter should be lumpy. Add ice cubes to keep the batter cold.

Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Coat the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the tempura batter, ensuring it is fully coated.

Fry the Shrimp
Carefully place the batter-coated shrimp into the hot oil, a few at a time, and fry until golden brown (about 2-3 minutes). Remove the shrimp with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
