Method
Shrimp Preparation
- 1
Season the Shrimp
In a bowl, combine the peeled and deveined Ebi shrimp with salt and black pepper. Toss gently to coat the shrimp evenly with the seasoning.
Batter Preparation
- 2
Make the Batter
In a mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder. Whisk together until well combined. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg and then slowly add the ice water while continuing to whisk. Gradually add this wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until you achieve a smooth batter.
Frying
- 3
Heat the Oil
In a deep frying pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat until it reaches 350°F (175°C).

Fry the Shrimp
Dip each seasoned Ebi shrimp into the batter, allowing the excess to drip off. Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil, frying in batches to avoid overcrowding. Fry for about 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy. Use a slotted spoon to remove the shrimp and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.
