Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Tempura Batter

    In a bowl, mix the all-purpose flour and cornstarch. Slowly add the ice water, whisking gently until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

  2. 2

    Fry the Shrimp

    Heat the vegetable oil in a deep pan to 180°C (350°F). Dip the shrimp in the tempura batter and then carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain on paper towels.

  3. 3

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In another pan, add a little oil and sauté the shiitake mushrooms and shishito peppers until tender, about 4-5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  4. 4

    Cook the Tonnarelli

    In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the squid ink tonnarelli according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and set aside.

  5. 5

    Prepare the Sweet Chili Butter

    In a small saucepan, melt the butter and stir in the sweet chili sauce. Heat until warmed through.

  6. 6

    Combine and Serve

    In a large serving bowl, combine the cooked tonnarelli, sautéed mushrooms and peppers, and top with the crispy tempura shrimp. Drizzle with the sweet chili butter before serving.
