How To Make crispy shrimp tempura

Step 1

Heat oil to 370 degrees in a deep fryer. Salt the shrimp and set it aside.

Step 2

Mix dry ingredients in a bowl and mix well.
Step 3

When the oil is hot (and not before), whisk the egg yolk and the sparkling water together. Mix into dry ingredients.
Step 4

Rapidly dip the shrimp into the thin batter - the consistency should be like melted ice cream -- shake off the excess and drop it into the oil. Do this in batches so the oil temperature does not drop too far. Do not overcrowd the pot.
Step 5

Fry 2-4 minutes, depending upon the size of the shrimp until golden brown. Remove shrimp and allow to drain on paper towels. Repeat batches.
Step 6

Serve with a dipping sauce of just a squeeze of lemon or lime.
