Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Shrimp

    In a bowl, season the shrimp with salt and black pepper. Set aside.

  2. 2

    Make the Tempura Batter

    In a separate bowl, whisk together the tempura batter mix and ice water until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are fine.

  3. 3

    Heat the Oil

    In a deep skillet or pot, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

  4. 4

    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 and fry in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sauce

    In a bowl, combine the Japanese mayo and tobiko, mixing until well incorporated.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Toss the fried shrimp in the mayo-tobiko mixture or drizzle it on top. Serve immediately.
