Shrimp Tempura

Make your shrimp tempura even more crispy. Let's get started.

Ingredients:

2 cups vegetable oil for frying

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons cornstarch

1 pinch salt

1 cup water

1 large egg yolk

2 large egg whites, lightly beaten

1 pound medium shrimp, peeled and deveined, tails left on

Steps:

Heat oil in a deep-fryer to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

Whisk flour, cornstarch, and salt together in a large bowl; make a well in the center. Pour water and egg yolk into the well and mix just until moistened; batter will be lumpy. Stir in egg whites.

Dip one shrimp at a time into batter to coat; do not batter tails. When three shrimp have been battered, carefully place them into the deep fryer and fry until golden brown, about 1 1/2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining shrimp, battering a few at a time while the previous batch is cooking.
