Shrimp Tempura

Fry shrimp to crispy browned perfection with this quick, simple recipe.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups chilled soda water
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1/4 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 1/2 cups (about 10 5/8 ounces) cake flour
  • vegetable oil, for frying
  • 2 pounds peeled and deveined large shrimp

Directions:

  1. Whisk together water and egg yolk in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in salt, baking soda, and baking powder. Slowly whisk in cake flour until smooth; batter consistency will resemble pancake batter. Cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  2. Pour oil into a large pot to a depth of 3 inches; heat oil over medium-high until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with paper towels. Working in batches of 12 pieces dip shrimp in batter, then carefully add to oil. Fry, gently stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 2 minutes. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer shrimp to paper towels, season with additional salt to taste. Repeat with remaining shrimp. Serve immediately.
