Tempura shrimp
Tempura shrimp
Tempura shrimp is a delicious Japanese dish where shrimp is coated in a light, crispy batter and then deep-fried until golden and crunchy. It’s a popular appetizer or main dish that is often served with a dipping sauce like soy sauce or a tangy tempura dipping sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup ice-cold water
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil for frying
- Salt and pepper to taste
Tempura Dipping Sauce:
- 1/2 cup soy sauce
- 1/4 cup mirin (Japanese sweet rice wine)
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
- 1 green onion chopped
Instructions
- In a bowl, whisk together the flour, egg, and ice-cold water until just combined. Be careful not to overmix – it’s okay if there are lumps in the batter.
- Heat the vegetable oil in a deep fryer or large pot to 350°F (180°C).
- Dip the shrimp into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and carefully place them in the hot oil. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes or until the shrimp are golden brown and crispy. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Season with salt and pepper.
- For the dipping sauce, combine the soy sauce, mirin, water, sugar, grated ginger, and chopped green onion in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, then remove from heat and let cool.
- Serve the Tempura shrimp hot with the Tempura dipping sauce on the side. Enjoy!
