Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 pound large shrimp, peeled and deveined
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 egg
- 1 cup ice-cold water
- Oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 1 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/2 cup of cornstarch, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt.
- In a separate bowl, beat 1 egg and mix in 1 cup of ice-cold water.
- Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients and mix until just combined. It's okay if the batter is a little lumpy.
- Heat oil in a deep pan or pot to 350°F (175°C).
- Dip the shrimp into the batter, allowing any excess to drip off, and carefully place them into the hot oil. Fry in batches for 2-3 minutes, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
- Serve the shrimp tempura hot with your favorite dipping sauce, such as soy sauce or tempura dipping sauce.
Shrimp Tempura is a popular Japanese dish consisting of shrimp dipped in a light batter and deep-fried to crispy perfection. This delectable dish has a rich history dating back to the 16th century when Portuguese missionaries introduced the tempura cooking technique to Japan. Today, it is a staple in Japanese cuisine and can be found in restaurants worldwide. Chefs in regions like Tokyo and Osaka are renowned for their mastery of tempura, using only the freshest shrimp and a delicate batter to create a light and crispy texture. For the best Shrimp Tempura experience, seek out restaurants with a focus on traditional Japanese cooking techniques. The key to perfecting this dish lies in the batter - it should be light, airy, and crispy, allowing the natural sweetness of the shrimp to shine through. Some chefs also incorporate unique ingredients like soda water or egg yolk to achieve the ideal consistency. For a twist on the classic, consider trying mixed tempura, which includes a variety of vegetables alongside the shrimp. Whether enjoyed as an appetizer or part of a larger meal, Shrimp Tempura is a delightful culinary experience that continues to captivate food enthusiasts around the world.
