Shrimp Tempura

Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tempura Batter

    In a mixing bowl, whisk together the flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and salt. Gradually add the ice-cold water, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix; lumps are okay.

  2. 2

    Heat the Oil

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

  3. 3

    Fry the Shrimp

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

  4. 4

    Make the Spicy Aioli

    In a small bowl, mix the mayonnaise, Sriracha, and lemon juice until well combined. Adjust spiciness to taste.

  5. 5

    Assemble the Dish

    On a serving plate, arrange the fried shrimp, avocado slices, mango slices, and top with masago. Serve with spicy aioli on the side.
