Method
Preparing the Tempura Shrimp
- 1
Make the Tempura Batter
In a bowl, mix together the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and ice water until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

Heat the Oil
In a large pot or deep fryer, heat the vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).

Coat and Fry Shrimp
Dip each shrimp into the tempura batter, allowing excess to drip off, then gently place in the hot oil. Fry in batches until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.
