Tips:
- To make the perfect tempura batter, use cold water and ice cubes. This will help the batter to stay light and crispy.
- Use a light touch when mixing the batter. Over-mixing will make the batter tough.
- Make sure the oil is hot enough before frying the shrimp. The ideal temperature is 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Do not overcrowd the pan when frying the shrimp. This will cause the oil temperature to drop and the shrimp will not cook evenly.
- Fry the shrimp in small batches for about 2-3 minutes, or until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Drain the shrimp on paper towels to remove excess oil.
- Serve the shrimp immediately with your favorite dipping sauce, such as wasabi mayonnaise.
