Method
Preparation
- 1
Prepare the Shrimp
In a bowl, season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Set aside to marinate for about 10 minutes while you prepare the batter.
Tempura Batter
- 2
Mix the Batter
In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. In a separate small bowl, whisk together the ice-cold water and egg yolk. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing gently until just combined. The batter should remain lumpy; do not overmix.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a large, deep pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C). Use a thermometer for accuracy.

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 brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
Dipping Sauce
- 5
Prepare the Dipping Sauce
In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, mirin, rice vinegar, finely chopped scallions, and sesame seeds until well combined. Serve alongside the tempura shrimp.
