Rock Shrimp Tempura

Method

Preparation Instructions

1

Prepare the Tempura Batter

In a large bowl, whisk together the tempura batter mix and ice water until just combined. Do not overmix; small lumps are okay.

2

Heat the Oil

In a deep pot, heat vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C (350°F).

3

Batter the Shrimp

Dredge the rock shrimp in the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off.

4

Fry the Shrimp

Carefully drop the battered shrimp into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.

5

Prepare the Creamy Spicy Sauce

In a separate bowl, combine mayonnaise, yuzu juice, and sriracha sauce. Mix well until smooth.

6

Sauté the Shiitake Mushrooms

In a small pan, sauté shiitake mushrooms in a little oil until tender and fragrant.

7

Assemble the Dish

On a plate, create a bed of mixed greens. Top with the fried rock shrimp and sautéed shiitake mushrooms. Drizzle with the creamy spicy sauce and yuzu dressing.
