Description

Easy Shrimp Tempura is a light and crispy Japanese dish featuring shrimp coated in a delicate batter and deep-fried to golden perfection, ideal as an appetizer or main course.

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 1 lb large shrimp, peeled and deveined with tails on
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (for dredging)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour (for batter)
  • 1 cup ice-cold water
  • 1 large egg
  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • Vegetable oil, for deep frying
  • Tempura dipping sauce, for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat the shrimp dry and make small slits on the underside to keep them from curling when fried.
  2. Heat vegetable oil in a deep pan to 350°F (175°C).
  3. Lightly dredge the shrimp in flour and shake off the excess.
  4. In a bowl, whisk the egg and ice-cold water together, then gently mix in the flour and baking soda. Do not overmix; the batter should be slightly lumpy.
  5. Dip the floured shrimp into the batter and immediately place them into the hot oil.
  6. Fry 2–3 shrimp at a time for about 2 minutes or until golden and crispy. Do not overcrowd the pan.
  7. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
  8. Serve hot with tempura dipping sauce.

Notes

  • Keep the batter cold for a crispier texture—place the bowl in a larger bowl filled with ice if needed.
  • Use chopsticks or tongs to gently stir and flip the shrimp while frying.
  • Serve with steamed rice or over a salad for a complete meal.
