Make the Tempura Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the ice water, mixing until just combined. The batter should be lumpy and not overmixed.

Heat the Oil

Fry the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for 2-3 minutes or until golden and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
