Fry the Shrimp
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat oil to 350°F (175°C). In a separate bowl, whisk the tempura batter mix with cold water until smooth. Dip the shrimp into the batter, allowing excess to drip off, and carefully add them to the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
