Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

1 box tempura mix
2 lb defrosted cooked shrimp (tail-off)
1 can(s) sweetened condensed milk
water
deep fryer

Steps:

1. Follow instructions on how to make tempura mixture
2. Dip shrimp in tempura mixture and fry in fryer till ready
3. After shrimp is done then fry shrimp in a frying pan with sweetened condensed milk. If condensed milk is too thick and gooey for you, just add a splash or two of milk to thin out the mixture.
4. You can add candied walnuts for a tastey crunch!

Tips:

Use large shrimp for this recipe, as they will hold up better to frying.
To devein the shrimp, make a shallow cut along the back of the shrimp and remove the dark vein.
Make sure the shrimp are completely dry before frying them. This will help them to cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
Use a light oil, such as vegetable oil or canola oil, for frying the shrimp. This will help to prevent the shrimp from becoming greasy.
Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause the shrimp to steam instead of fry and will result in soggy shrimp.
Fry the shrimp in batches until they are golden brown and cooked through. This will take about 2-3 minutes per batch.
Drain the shrimp on paper towels before serving. This will help to remove any excess oil.
