How to Make Shrimp Tempura
- In a bowl, mix together all-purpose flour, cornstarch, and baking powder.
- In a separate bowl, whisk the large egg and cold water together until frothy.
- Gradually pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients, stirring gently until just combined.
- In a deep fryer or heavy pot, heat vegetable oil to 350°F (175°C).
- Take the tail-on shrimp and dip them into the batter, letting the excess drip off.
- Carefully place the battered shrimp into the hot oil in batches. Fry until golden brown, approximately 2-3 minutes per side.
- Once fried, drain the shrimp on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve immediately with your choice of tempura dipping sauce and yum yum sauce.

Notes
For best results, chill your ingredients and avoid overmixing the batter. Fry in small batches for perfect crispiness.
