Tempura Batter

Lime Ginger Dressing

Dipping Sauce

Method

Prepare Tempura Batter

  1. 1

    Mix Dry Ingredients

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

  2. 2

    Add Wet Ingredients

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the ice-cold water and egg. Gradually add this mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined. The batter should remain lumpy.

  3. 3

    Chill Batter

    Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the batter for about 30 minutes to chill.

Prepare Shrimp and Vegetables

  1. 4

    Prep the Ingredients

    Peel and devein the shrimp. Slice the zucchini into thin rounds, julienne the carrot, and slice the bell pepper. Cut the green onion into small pieces.

  2. 5

    Heat Oil

    In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry Tempura

  1. 6

    Coat Ingredients

    Dip each piece of shrimp and prepared vegetables into the tempura batter, allowing any excess batter to drip off.

  2. 7

    Fry in Batches

    Carefully drop the battered shrimp and vegetables into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.

  3. 8

    Drain and Serve

    Using a slotted spoon, remove the fried tempura from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Prepare Lime Ginger Dressing

  1. 9

    Mix Dressing

    In a small bowl, whisk together lime juice, grated ginger, olive oil, honey, and salt to taste until well combined.

Serve

  1. 10

    Plating

    Serve the shrimp and vegetable tempura hot with the lime ginger dressing drizzled on top and tamari on the side for dipping.
