INGREDIENTS

INSTRUCTIONS

1. In a large bowl, combine the flour, cornstarch, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Slowly pour in the soda water, whisking until the batter is smooth and free of lumps.

2. Dip each shrimp into the batter, making sure it's fully coated.

3. Heat about 2-3 inches of oil in a deep frying pan or a deep fryer to 350°F (175°C).

4. Once the oil is hot, add a few of the battered shrimp to the oil (do not overcrowd). Fry until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side.

5. Using a slotted spoon, remove the shrimp from the oil and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain extra oil.

6. Season the tempura shrimp with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately with dipping sauce.
