Tempura Shrimp
Method
Cooking Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Shrimp
Rinse the shrimp under cold water and pat them dry with paper towels.
- 2
Make the Tempura Batter
In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the ice water to the dry ingredients, mixing lightly until just combined. The batter should be lumpy and cold.
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep pot or fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- 4
Fry the Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the tempura batter, allowing excess batter to drip off. Carefully place the battered shrimp in the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and drain on paper towels.
- 5
Prepare Cocktail Sauce
Serve the tempura shrimp on a bed of lettuce with cocktail sauce on the side.
