Equipment

  • Deep fryer
  • Mixing bowl
  • Whisk

Ingredients:  

Tempura Batter

  • 1 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Ice water
  • 1 Egg beaten

Shrimp

  • 1 lb Shrimp peeled and deveined
  • 1 cup Vegetable oil for frying

Instructions: 

  • 1. In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, ice water, and beaten egg to make the tempura batter. Mix until just combined; it's okay if it's a bit lumpy.
  • 2. Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (175°C).
  • 3. Dip each shrimp into the batter, then carefully place it into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes per side.
  • 4. Remove the shrimp from the oil and drain on paper towels. Serve immediately.

Notes:

For best results, keep the batter cold and avoid over-mixing.
