Tempura Shrimp and Sauce

Method

Preparation and Cooking

1

Prepare the Tempura Batter

In a mixing bowl, combine the tempura batter mix with ice water until just mixed. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

2

Heat the Oil

In a large pot or deep fryer, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C). Make sure there is enough oil for deep frying.

3

Batter and Fry the Shrimp

Dip the rock shrimp and shiitake mushrooms into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully drop them into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

4

Make the Spicy Sauce

In a small bowl, mix together mayonnaise, yuzu juice, and sriracha sauce until well combined.

5

Assemble the Dish

On a serving plate, create a bed of mixed greens. Place the crispy tempura shrimp and shiitake mushrooms on top. Drizzle with yuzu dressing and the creamy spicy sauce.
