8 cups vegetable oil
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon salt
1 large egg
1/2 cup soda water
1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup mayo
3 tablespoons wasabi, prepared or powdered mix made to instructions
1 pound 21/25 count shrimp, peeled and deveined

Steps:

For the tempura: To begin, preheat the oil to 375 degrees F, and then begin the batter. In mixing bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, cornstarch and salt together, blending well. Next, add the egg and again mix. Then stir in the soda water and vinegar, and mix for final time. Keep cold until use and stir again before each use.
For the sauce: In a bowl, blend the mayo and wasabi, whisking together well to form a smooth sauce. Hold cold until dressing the cooked shrimp.
For the shrimp: Slice the shrimp from head to tail, forming 2 even pieces; this will yield 46 total pieces. Next, dip and evenly coat 12 shrimp at a time with the tempura batter, and then place in the hot oil. Cook until fluffy and golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove and repeat the process with the remaining shrimp.
Once all the shrimp are cooked, toss them with the prepared sauce. Remove from the sauce without excess, and finish with lemon juice. Serve.

Tips:

Choose fresh shrimp: Using fresh shrimp is essential for the best flavor and texture. Look for shrimp that are firm and have a slightly briny smell.
Clean the shrimp properly: Before cooking, be sure to clean the shrimp thoroughly. Remove the heads, shells, and veins. You can also devein the shrimp by making a shallow cut along the back and removing the dark vein.
Cook the shrimp until they are just cooked through: Overcooked shrimp will be tough and rubbery. Cook the shrimp for just a few minutes, until they are pink and opaque throughout.
Use a light hand with the cornstarch: Too much cornstarch will make the shrimp crackers tough. Use just enough cornstarch to coat the shrimp lightly.
Fry the shrimp crackers in hot oil: The oil should be hot enough so that the shrimp crackers sizzle when they are added to the pan. This will help them to cook evenly and quickly.
Serve the shrimp crackers immediately: Shrimp crackers are best served hot and fresh. They can be served as an appetizer or snack, or as part of a main meal.

Conclusion:

Wasabi shrimp crackers are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a quick and easy meal. With their crispy texture and slightly spicy flavor, wasabi shrimp crackers are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
