Method
Preparation of Shrimp
Clean the Shrimp
Peel and devein the shrimp, leaving the tails intact. Rinse them under cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
Make a Small Cut
Make a small cut along the belly of each shrimp to help them stay straight while frying.
Batter Preparation
Mix Dry Ingredients
In a bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder until well combined.
Frying
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).
Coat the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the batter, ensuring it is fully coated.
Fry the Shrimp
Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, a few at a time, without overcrowding the pot. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy.
Drain the Shrimp
Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Dipping Sauce Preparation
Combine Sauce Ingredients
In a small bowl, mix together the soy sauce, rice vinegar, mirin, and grated daikon radish until well combined.
