Make the Tempura Batter

Fry the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the tempura batter, ensuring it’s well-coated. Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

Mix the Dipping Sauce
